Polar Bear Posters, Polar Bear Gifts and Polar Bear Art Prints

So, what's with all of the polar bears on Self Help Daily?! Well, Mrs. Self Help Daily (a.k.a. Joi, mom...) loves polar bears to distraction.

I love the playfulness of polar bears. These guys just don't seem to take life very seriously and I appreciate that. I love their individuality, their strength, and I love their beauty. These gorgeous animals are in danger, however. Global warming is a grave threat to these great bears, and the thought of them being destroyed or harmed in any way makes me three kinds of crazy.

I want to do my part to draw more attention to the Polar Bear - to keep his beautiful face in front of as many people as possible. If you love polar bears, as well, I hope you'll join me in the polar bear publicity campaign.

*** Update: The Polar Bear is now on the "Threatened Species" list. The Bush administration recently added the polar bear to the "threatened" list, agreeing with conservationalists that the bear's Arctic habitat is melting because of global warming.

Polar Bears 2009

Huge, powerful and fearless is Nanook, the polar bear. Standing 10 feet tall on its hind legs and weighing more than 1,600 pounds, the polar bear is renowned for its singular ferociousness. It survives on the starkly beautiful and unforgiving arctic tundra, moving with the floating ice to raise its young and hunt for seals. With its tufted ears, snowy white coat and coal-black eyes and nose, the polar bear is arrestingly photogenic. In this collection of remarkable photographs we discover the polar bear as not only a formidable predator but also a loving parent and natural jester. World-renowned photographer Norbert Rosing has been a leader in raising awareness of this majestic creature and the increasing threats to its survival. In Polar Bears 2009, his engaging photographs and informative captions invite us into a world that few are privileged to see.
