Alaska is truly bear country. It is the only one of America's fifty
states to be inhabited by all three of North America's ursine species:
black, polar bear, and brown bear (also known as grizzly). Alaska's
Bears is a handy guidebook to the bears of Alaska, a book that slips
easily into a jacket pocket or a day pack, and that provides
entertaining armchair reading when you're not in bear country.
Here in one compact edition is a book that can help you understand
Alaska's bears and their natural histories. Learn about their
appearances, behaviors, yearly cycles, ecological niches, and
relationships with humans. Find full details on how to visit Alaska's
prime bear-viewing and get tips for traveling safely through bear
country. Complementing Bill Sherwonit's text are photographs from
longtime Alaskan Tom Walker, a premier wildlife photographer who has
spent hundreds of hours in the company of bears.
