Abstract
The largest and most powerful bears on earth live only in the northern reaches of the world. Brown bear, polar bear; related yet distinct, both are forces of nature that have left their mark on humankind. The very heart of wilderness beats within these bears, with ranges spanning countries and continents. Circumpolar Bears explores the lives of brown bears and polar bears found throughout the North – from grizzlies in Canada’s Arctic to brown bears in Finland and Russia, and polar bears from around the world. They have survived 200 million years of evolution, but the next hundred years may bring their greatest challenge yet.
Notes
The abstract has been taken directly from the film itself.
The front reads: "come face to face with the largest bears in the world - the Circumpolar Bears."

The publication is comprehensive in the sense that it combines Milne’s art with a history of his life and experiences. Written by David Silcox, the publication explores the artist’s successes, failures and major breakthroughs, artistically speaking. Readers can expect to learn more about David Brown Milne and his artistic endeavors.
