KILLED BEARS

Very well written,informative and refreshing. The author writes about a number of incidents which I have not read about elsewhere, an accomplishment given the glut of bear attack books on the market which often rehash the same attacks. The author is not as radical as fellow BC author JG Shelton, so there is not the constant undercurrent of advancing an agenda. The backstory of tracking down the interviews lends local color and the feeling of being there that only the best outdoor writers can accomplish.

Real-life stories of survivors of bear attacks

What causes killer bear attacks, can they be prevented, and how have humans survived? Killer Bears gathers real-life stories of survivors of bear attacks, supplementing their first-person face-to-face encounters with keys to understanding the behaviors of wild bears. An intriguing, absorbing title which can be pursued as a leisure/adventure read and a natural history of bears.
