Alaska's Bears Résumé

Alaska's Bears: Grizzlies, Black Bears, and Polar Bears, Revised Edition Bill Sherwonit

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.

Alaska's Bears Avis

Sherwonit outlines why Alaska's brown, black, and polar bears have more to fear from us than we do from them. He dishes out a bit of natural history on each species, and brief outlines on how you should behave when meeting a black, brown, or polar bear. Walker provides top-flight photography.-Anchorage Daily News
