Synopsis

"Frozen Predators" explores the lives of apex predators like polar bears, leopard seals, and arctic foxes in Earth's coldest regions, revealing their unique adaptations and crucial roles in fragile Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems. The book emphasizes how the success of these hunters is deeply connected to stable icy environments, threatened now more than ever by climate change. Through the lens of these iconic species, it examines broader themes of adaptation, survival, and the impact of environmental shifts, highlighting the intricate balance within these ecosystems.

 
The book presents a comprehensive look at the physical and behavioral adaptations that enable these animals to thrive despite extreme conditions. For example, it discusses the insulation of polar bear fur, the diving physiology of leopard seals, and the camouflage of arctic foxes.

 
Beginning with an introduction to the Arctic and Antarctic, the book progresses to detail the hunting techniques of each predator, such as polar bears hunting on sea ice and leopard seals ambushing prey in Antarctic waters.

 
Ultimately, it discusses the conservation challenges facing these predators and what their decline could mean for the entire planet, offering potential solutions and avenues for future research.

    The History of London

    Walter Besant was a novelist and historian, and his topographical and historical writings, ranging from prehistoric times to the nineteenth century, were probably best known through the detailed 10-volume Survey of London published after his death.This earlier single volume covers, in less depth, the whole period from prehistory until the 19th century. The book appears originally to have been written for boys, and, indeed, the chapters are called "Lessons". However, it is a very readable history and provides a fascinating insight into both London's past and the government of the City at the time the book was written (1894). (Summary by Ruth Golding)
