We fear it's the parents who will make off with Andrew Revkin's dramatic account of an Arctic expedition, bolstered by articles on polar exploration, global warming and oceanography. He conveys the thrill, danger and import of Arctic research, tipping his hat to the great polar explorers and subtly conveying the message that, beware, the climate is awry. We think it's as effective as Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth (and more exciting to boot). A longtime environmental reporter, Revkin is the author of The Burning Season (AMZ08, $16.00), a non-fiction murder mystery set in the Brazilian Amazon  (ARC185, $10.95)
