Customer Reviews

Great book.

I just finished "In The Presence of Grizzlies". I thought it was very well written and flowed well. I liked the parts about the politics,as I have followed the reintroduction of the wolves to Yellowstone and didn't realize how much there is to do in regards to grizzlies. I read Doug's previous two books and felt this one followed well. I was lucky to have read the previous review concerning the previous edition, and thought well of the author's willingness to come forward and apologize.

Getting into the mind of bears

This is quite a good read for anyone who wants to get into the mind of these alpha predators. To get the full picture on bears, also check Bears: A Brief History by Bernd Brunner.

Sorry!

Doug and I want to apologize for the confusion. We fought with our publisher about the possibility that people would think it was a new book, but got nowhere. It seems The Lyons Press just wants to make a buck (don't we all, but not by alienating readers).

in the presence of grizzilies

Although this book is excellent I bought it thinking that it was a new book by Doug and Andrea Peacock only to find it's another edition of their previous book, The Essential Grizzly. So I ended up with the same book not knowing it was the same but with another title! I'll send it back as I don't need 2! The book itself is superb!
