About this audiobook
Of the animals in North America, none commands such dread, awe, and interest as the bear. Creatures that fear little, bears compete for survival with the only other animals that can threaten their existence: Humans.
Bear Attacks is a thorough and unflinching study of attacks made on humans. This is the sometimes horrific, yet always instructive, story of Bear and Human, written by the leading scientific authority in the field. This book is for everyone who camps, hikes, or visits bear country-and for anyone who wants to learn more about these fearsome but always fascinating wild creatures.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you go to the mountains this is essential reading. I read it every year before hiking season and usually spend about 40 days each summer in the Canadian Rockies and have never had a bad Bear encounter.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is not only interesting, it could save your life. A must read for anyone who wants to venture into the pockets of true wilderness which still remain.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I built a cabin in the middle of nowhere, Alaska and had some serious encounters with bears. I bought this book at the time, hoping it would give me some information that might help me from being mauled to death. The book contains mostly common sense suggestions, and to be honest I found a healthy dose of paranoia, a 12 guage loaded with copper slugs and an SKS Chinese assault rifle to be more reassuring.
