Memoirs of a Polar Bear


Book Description

The Memoirs of a Polar Bear stars three generations of talented writers and performers—who happen to be polar bears The Memoirs of a Polar Bear has in spades what Rivka Galchen hailed in the New Yorker as “Yoko Tawada’s magnificent strangeness”—Tawada is an author like no other. Three generations (grandmother, mother, son) of polar bears are famous as both circus performers and writers in East Germany: they are polar bears who move in human society, stars of the ring and of the literary world. In chapter one, the grandmother matriarch in the Soviet Union accidentally writes a bestselling autobiography. In chapter two, Tosca, her daughter (born in Canada, where her mother had emigrated) moves to the DDR and takes a job in the circus. Her son—the last of their line—is Knut, born in chapter three in a Leipzig zoo but raised by a human keeper in relatively happy circumstances in the Berlin zoo, until his keeper, Matthias, is taken away... Happy or sad, each bear writes a story, enjoying both celebrity and “the intimacy of being alone with my pen.”

A Polar Bear's Christmas Wish


Book Description

To put it briefly: A young polar bear named Luna lived in the Arctic, which is very cold and huge. She was different from other cubs her age because she was curious and liked to explore. Other polar bears in the Arctic were happy with their normal lives, but Luna was looking for more. The Christmas stories her grandmother told her were fascinating to her. Luna became very interested in Christmas after hearing stories about how it was a magical time full of love, happiness, and pleasant surprises. She really wanted to enjoy the holiday herself. Luna set out on an amazing trip to find out what Christmas is really about because she felt this way. In her search, she met many different kinds of animals, and each had its own unique take on the holiday season. Luna learned from an old owl that Christmas was a time to be wise and calm. While they were getting ready to help Santa Claus deliver gifts all over the world, a family of reindeer showed her how happy it is to help others. Luna accidentally found a secret area where a group of elves were busy making gifts. They showed Luna what Christmas is really about, which is the happiness that comes from making other people happy, especially kids. After some time, Luna finally got to a small village where she saw families having Christmas. She realized that the real spirit of the season—love, kindness, and the warmth of being with loved ones—was more important than the material things that make up the holiday, like gifts and decorating. As soon as Luna heard this, she thought of her family, whom she had left behind in the Arctic. Luna came home from her trip full of holiday cheer and ready to tell her family and friends about all the great things she had seen and done and the important lessons she had learned. The people in the Arctic town celebrated Christmas together and made up their own customs, like putting ornaments of different colors on a huge ice tree. The stories she told brought the community together and led to these traditions. They learned how rewarding it is to help others and how important it is to spend time with each other. They truly understood the spirit of Christmas. Luna and her people were the first ones to celebrate Christmas every year. This became a well-known practice in the Arctic. People in Luna's family's neighborhood knew her as the person who brought Christmas energy, which is a sign of hope and joy. Besides making her own dream come true, her trip brought the magic of Christmas to the Arctic and taught everyone that the real meaning of the holiday season is being with loved ones and sharing joy, no matter where they are in the world. Because of what she did, Christmas came to the Arctic. Her journey made her personal wish come true. Her trip brought Christmas cheer to the Arctic. The action starts: Many years ago, there was a polar bear cub in the Arctic. Her name was Luna. In the Arctic, where it was very cold and huge, she lived. The snow looked like a diamond bed in the dim light of the winter sun. Luna was a bear who had strange hopes and dreams. Her hair was as white as the snow around her, and her eyes sparkled with a kind of excitement that isn't common in wildlife of her kind. For people who lived in the Arctic, where every day was a battle against the weather, Luna's soul shone like a beacon of hope and wonder. The other polar bears in Luna's group were happy with their daily routines of looking for food, swimming in the cold seas, and playing in the snow. Luna wanted to do something different. Luna was eager to try something new. She often stood still and stared up at the stars, either to focus or to listen carefully as the more experienced members of her pack told stories. When Luna heard these stories, she was most interested in the ones her grandmother, a wise and caring bear, told her. Her grandma talked about a lovely time of the year called Christmas that is unlike any other. With a smile on her face, her grandma would read Christmas stories while her white fur turned silver with age. She talked about a world that had been changed by love, happiness, and a lot of really nice shocks. Luna learned about the music in the air, the shining lights on trees and buildings, and the general feeling of happiness that seemed to cover the whole world during this holiday season. Luna thought that the idea of Christmas was as mysterious and interesting as the Northern Lights in the Arctic at night. It was in Luna's heart to be a part of the Christmas season. She dreamed of a paradise that was far from the harsh fields where she lived, a place where happiness was as common as winter snowflakes. When she thought about what it would be like, she saw herself in a room full of bright lights and music and laughing. The thought of a day devoted to joy and kindness was very appealing to her. Every year, Luna was interested in the Christmas holiday. She started to ask more questions and looked for the most experienced and smart bears in her pack to learn more about those good old days. She had heard stories about a famous red-clad figure who flew through the sky on a sleigh pulled by reindeer and brought gifts and happiness to everyone he met. It was explained to her that putting lights and trinkets on trees in honor of the start of a new life and the persistence of hope during the darkest winter months. Luna was getting ready for the holidays, but the holiday season kept showing up in her dreams. She dreamed of a world where snowmen came to life and every snowflake was a note in a happy melody. The cold, harsh Arctic world would be warmed by Christmas' love and kindness. She imagined having a time of peace and family with animals she had never seen before. They and she would share stories and gifts. The desire for Luna to experience Christmas became her compass as the nights got longer and the auroras got stronger in the Arctic. In the Arctic, the auroras got better to see as the nights got longer. She knew that she had to leave her cold country in order to fully enjoy this magical moment. She wanted to bring Christmas joy back to the Arctic so that everyone could feel the wonder and excitement that she had only ever read or heard about. The last night of Luna was clear and full of stars, and the Northern Lights made the sky look green and purple. Her goal was to find Christmas, so she would leave her house. She wanted to feel the happiness, love, and gifts for herself so she could tell her family and friends how she felt. She knew the trip would be hard and take a long time, but she was determined to go anyway. Luna's grandmother gave her approval, and the rest of her pack pushed her to go on this trip so she could finish her epic quest. In the Arctic, where it is cold and lonely, life and the rules of nature used to be the only things that mattered. The sky looked great with the white snow and ice that was always there in this place. The young polar bear Luna had a heart as strong as the Arctic winds. She lived in this peaceful but harsh setting. Luna was a bear with a wish as far away as the stars in the cold night. She wasn't just another animal that lived in this frozen world. Luna's dream was to one day spend Christmas in the Arctic, where life is always about hunting, surviving, and facing the elements. She is having a hard time understanding this idea. Luna thought of Christmas as more than just a day on the calendar. It stood for joy, warmth, and enticing treats, which were very different from her harsh and cruel home in the Arctic. As a child, she loved listening to her grandma tell stories about this wonderful time. The stories were about sparkling lights, happy sounds, and a world covered in a blanket of kindness and happiness. Luna had heard these stories since she was a child. The stories had added fuel to Luna's already-burning fire of desire and wonder, a fire that was very bright compared to the cold weather. As Luna walked through the frozen fields and took a bath in the cold lake, her mind would often wander to the upcoming Christmas holiday. She made up a world that was very different from the one she lived in—one that was full of happiness and love instead of loneliness and sadness. She felt loved and like she belonged in this beautiful world in her dreams. It seemed like love and belonging filled every corner. In her dreams, she saw trees with ornaments that sparkled. It was the music that made her happy and calm. Living in the Arctic, however, meant that she had to fight every day for her life. There wasn't much food, and the setting was harsh and hostile. Because they were so focused on staying alive, the other polar bears didn't understand why Luna was so interested in Christmas. They thought it was an impossible goal that would take their attention away from their most important job, which was to stay alive. While they were negative, Luna wasn't affected by it. She held on to her dream with all her might, like the northern lights. It got even more important to Luna to have Christmas as the days got shorter and the nights got longer in the Arctic. When she made her plea, she would lie down on the ground, look up at the stars, and whisper to the night sky. She did this in the hopes that one day her wish would come true. Luna thought Christmas was more than just a day. She thought it was an emotion and a spirit that could make even the worst conditions brighter and happier. It became important to her to spend Christmas with her family, and it shaped both her thoughts and deeds. Luna started to see the beauty of her home Arctic in a whole new way as she thought about how the holidays would change it so much. She saw the northern lights as nature's Christmas lights, snowdrifts as places to build snowmen, and the night sky full of stars as a painting of the beauty and joy of the season. She thought of the Northern Lights as real-life Christmas decorations.




Polar Bears


Book Description

These proceedings provide an overview of the ongoing research and management activities on polar bears in the circumpolar arctic. Together with the previous 12 proceedings, they provide an historic record of international efforts in protecting polar bears from over-harvest and document more recent concerns of threats arising from increased human activities in both the Arctic and in regions far beyond the realm of polar bears. More proactive management is needed to address limitations in the knowledge of population dynamics. New information indicates that the greatest future challenges to polar bear conservation may be ecological change in the Arctic due to climate change and pollution. The complex, global nature of the issues requires international cooperation and development of diverse, new approaches to address them.
