That damn global warming: First it made the weather wacky. Now its melted enough Arctic ice to threaten polar bears with extinction. And while the Lords of the Arctic have a reputation for being stealthy, ruthless killers, The Last Polar Bear evokes sympathy for their plight. Photos from Steven Kazlowskis recent book document their dilemma; tonight, the photographer will introduce and discuss these images–also on view at the Burke Museum exhibit of the same title. Kazlowski and his adorably furry friends are only asking for some ice. JOSHUA LYNCH
