I need to find info. for Arctic Survival if you can give me links I would appreciate it.
Camp in an area of timber, if possible, to be near fuel. If you cannot find timber, choose a spot protected from wind and drifting snow. Do not camp at the bases of steep slopes or cliffs where snow may drift heavily or come down in avalanches or in areas where you run the risk of floods, rockfalls, or being battered by winds.
In timbered country, a good winter shelter is a lean-to. Lay the covering boughs shingle fashion, starting from the bottom. If you have a piece of parachute nylon, use it for the roof. Close the ends with fabric or boughs.
Keep the front openings of all shelters crosswind. A windbreak of snow or ice blocks set close to the shelter is helpful.
In making shelters, remember that snow is a good insulator. In timberless country, make a simple snow cave or burrow by digging into the side of a snowdrift and lining the hole with grass or brush. Snow caves must be ventilated. If the snow is not deep enough to support a roof, dig a trench in a drift and roof it with snow blocks or other materials.
In wooded country, make a tree-pit shelter if snow is deep enough. Enlarge the natural pit around a tree trunk and roof it with any available covering.
Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning by providing good ventilation in closed shelters in which a fire is burning.
Do not sleep directly on the snow. Put insulation under your sleeping bag or body. Lay a thick bough bed shingle fashion; or use seat cushions, a parachute canopy, or even an inverted and inflated life raft if available.

Quick!!! I need to know all about igloos and other alternative shelters like in the next 5 mins!!! give me all the info. you know and links thanks for the help!!!
First off its very unlikely you'll be able to make an igloo. Igloos require specific hard packed snow and something to cut the blocks free with.
I would suggest making a quinzhee. Its easily made my piling up snow and then digging out the middle. It requires a lot of snow though.
Even easier than a quinzhee is making use of a snow cave. Find a cave and build a snow wall to protect from the wind.
Here are wikipedia articals on them.

Don't much care the source. Don't care if it's survival in the arctic or the south pacific. Just sort of feel like reading a book of this theme, and curious if anyone has any good ones to recommend.

Yea, it would prob need help, it would not survive on its own. You would need to take care of it in a green house, or a controlled environment.

Climate Change and Arctic Warming: Polar Bear Survival
Ith 20-25,000 polar bears living in the wild, the species is not currently endangered, but its future is far from certain. In 1973, Canada, the United States, Denmark, Norway and the former U.S.S.R. signed the International Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears and their Habitat. This agreement restricts the hunting of polar bears and directs each nation to protect their habitats, but it does not protect the bears against the biggest man-made threat to their survival: climate change.
If current warming trends continue unabated, scientists believe that polar bears will be vulnerable to extinction within the next century. WWF provides funding to field research by the world’s foremost experts on polar bears to find out how climate change will affect the long-term status of polar bears.
