    A Terrifying Polar Bear Attack ThrillerIt's 2025, in Newfoundland, Canada. In the small northern town of St. Anthony, a local family is ambushed by a polar bear just beyond their front door. On Fogo Island to the east, a tourist and a resident are killed in separate early morning attacks in two remote outports. These incidents are the first known polar bear fatalities in Newfoundland's history, despite regular late spring visits from the bears.But these people haven't just been killed, they've been eaten. As the attacks multiply, it's clear that people are not safe even in their own homes. Totally unprepared for the onslaught, local residents, Mounties, and biologists struggle with a disturbing new reality: they have a huge polar bear problem on their hands, and if they don't find a solution quickly, dozens more people will die gruesome deaths, and hundreds more polar bears will be shot. A Newfoundland seal biologist gets help from a transplanted Alaskan carnivore specialist as they team up with officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Mounties) but stopping the carnage and relentless terror will be the biggest challenge they've ever faced. Will this turn out to be the most horrifying disaster in Newfoundland's long history?

    Sir David Attenborough was one of the most trusted and admired men in the world - until early 2019, when he narrated a joint Netflix/WWF documentary called Our Planet that showed several walrus falling off a high cliff to their deaths on jagged rocks below. Hundreds were shown to have died, which Attenborough blamed on humanity's wanton use of fossil fuels. Many viewers, including children, were traumatised by the brutal images. He used this horrifying imagery to jump-start a three year campaign against human-caused global warming that included ten documentaries laden with groundless climate emergency messaging, much of it aimed at the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world. Attenborough's relentless climate activism included a utopian vision of global changes for society eerily similar to the one proposed by the World Economic Forum (WEF). The story told in Fallen Icon is every bit as horrifying as the falling walrus tragedy porn Attenborough and the WWF manipulated to their advantage: it is an especially egregious example of science corrupted for political objectives.

    This beautiful, full color summary explains current walrus ecology and conservation status for readers of all ages (7 and up). The language is straightforward but not condescending so it works for students of various reading abilities as well as adults who prefer a simply synopsis. The book is written in a question and answer format based on the most up-to-date information available. The sensible, big-picture approach is one all readers are sure to appreciate because it makes it clear that walrus are thriving despite the recent loss of Arctic sea ice and are not threatened with extinction by climate change. This is a great aide for homeschoolers learning about Arctic ecology and a beautiful book for adults and children to read together.
