BOOK REVIEW: “Polar Bear Facts and Myths – A Science Summary for All Ages” by Susan Crockford

Susan Crockford, the “Bones”1 of the zoology world, is a partner in Pacific Identifications, Inc., whose homepage proudly declares “We identify animal bones”.   She is a world-renowned expert in the identification and analysis of animal bone recovered from archaeological sites and animal digestive tracts, among other things. She is also an adjunct professor at the University of Victoria, British Columbia and has given public lectures about evolution for 20 years.   She has been particularly interested in vertebrate evolution, especially of dogs, polar bears, and humans and is the author of “Rhythms of Life: Thyroid Hormone & the Origin of Species”, in which she unravels the conundrum of how brown bears transformed into polar bears, and a nature-action thriller, the novel “Eaten”.

One of her two newest books2 is “Polar Bear Facts and Myths – A Science Summary for All Ages”.  It is available from Amazon in paperback format where is it described this way:

“This beautiful, full color summary explains in simple terms why polar bears are thriving despite the recent loss of Arctic sea ice. It’s written in a question and answer format, in language that readers of all ages can understand (age 7 and up). The book takes a sensible, big-picture approach that many readers will appreciate and is based on the most up-to-date information available.”

Mann's Climate Madhouse Effect
Mann’s book will likely be a howler, not because it will be funny, but because Mann’s so dead pan humorless, his attempt at being humorous will likely backfire just as badly as his attempts to conjure statistically significant warming trends from dead trees. He’ll need more than just “Mike’s Nature Trick” to pull that off.  I’m sure he’ll take some potshots at all the usual players, including Mark Stein, and maybe yours truly.
Meanwhile, Mann already has the book on his curriculum vitae, even though it’s not actually published yet, and won’t be until September.
