Description

Bears are North America's most complex and controversial predator, both loved and hated for their majesty and power. This book offers an intimate view of the lives of Alaska's coastal bears, told with objectivity as a biologist and the voice of someone who has spent decades in bear society. Will Troyer's work on brown bears spans dramatic changes in approaches to bear management, from extermination to conservation. He shares his first-hand knowledge and insights into bear biology and behavior, as well as practical advice for viewing and photographing bears. With breathtaking photography, this book provides a holistic description of the natural history of Alaska's brown bears. Entertaining and readable, Into Brown Bear Country is an essential starting point for anyone visiting bear country or interested in nature literature.
