Each book in the Our Fragile Planet series focuses on the causes and effects of climate change and human impact on the atmosphere, biosphere, climate, geosphere, the natural environment, hydrosphere, oceans, and polar regions. Each fact-filled book includes photographs, charts, and graphs along with a glossary, an index, and references for further reading. The information found in this series will engage children's curiosity and provide them with a sense of stewardship.

In Polar Regions students will read about the uniqueness of the Arctic and Antarctic, and life on land and in the polar seas. The book emphasizes global warming as caused by atmospheric pollutants. It discusses the ozone hole in the Antarctic and the future of the polar climate. As they consider measures to protect the region, readers will learn about chemical pollution in the Arctic and the effects of over-fishing and hunting in polar regions.

This thought-provoking book will make children and adults view our fragile planet in a new way. Written for students in grades 6 through 12, it could also be read by some students in grades 2 through 5. It would also be an excellent reference book for teachers. Teachers using differentiated instruction would find this book very useful.
