This review is from: The Bears of Katmai: Alaska's Famous Brown Bears (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for anyone who loves animals. I read it right after spending time at Brooks Lodge in the Katmai National Park. The photographs are gorgeous and took me right back there, but the fact that the author is a biologist who knows and loves bears made the writing just as evocative of the place. Whether or not you are ever lucky enough to spend time with the bears of Katmai you will enjoy this book.

This book is beautiful; a work of art. Matthias Breiter may very well be the most knowledgeable naturalist on earth when it come to brown bears.
