5.0 out of 5 stars A wake up call, 2 Oct 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance (Paperback)

I've worked with the (volunter) Nat'l Park Service for three years with the bear division in Sequioa Nat'l Park Califonia,I came face to face with many of bears, I thought I knew almost everything about bears.People thought I was nuts getting so close to them.This BOOK openned my eyes (I guess I was nuts)it scared me,made me realize how close to death I was a number of times. The next time I went back to the park I was alot more educated and aware, I recommened this book to any body and everybody, backpackers, weekend family campers, hunters any one who enjoys the great outdoors. Billy Bear.......

5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting reading for back-country nature lovers, 23 Dec 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance (Paperback)

Having read this book in 1990, and since losing track of it by loaning it to some (forgotten) friend, I'm buying it again so my sons will have a chance to benefit from the truth about the downside of bear encounters in bear country. I spend time in the wilds around Glacier, MT every Fall, and I'm constantly aware of the possibility of bumping into one of the "top of the food chain" residents. We are the intruders, and should always treat bears with due respect in their home environments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent information for anyone interested in bears., 18 Jul 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance (Paperback)

I found this book to be the most informative guide to bears I have read. Anyone who spends time in bear country should read, and be familiar with, the information in this book. Some readers may be uncomfortable with the descriptions of the bear attacks, but they supplement the author's points and provide graphic illustration of the potential damage a bear can inflict. The author's analysis of the factors contributing to the bear attacks will help the reader understand bears and their behavior and what types of situations should be avoided. The recommendations on what to do if you encounter a bear are based on analysis of all the reliable reports since 1900. The author thoroughly researched the subject over a number of years. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who spends time outdoors in bear country. The natural history descriptions and the section on bear signs are excellent.
