This guide dispels the myth that grizzly bears are the ferocious attackers some people believe them to be. Instead, it offers a comprehensive guide to acting safely when encountering them in grizzly country and to the pleasures of observing them in their natural habitats. Partial proceeds of this book support the Great Bear Foundation.

5.0 out of 5 stars
second edition (1996) better than the first (1992),
By A Customer
This review is from: Field Guide to the Grizzly Bear (Sasquatch Field Guide Series) (Paperback)
Now in its second printing, with correction of a couple earlier errors, the Field Guide to the Grizzly Bear covers 500,000 years of this species' existence in just 48 pages. As the author, I can appreciate how difficult it is to write about so much in so few words. The field guide series by Sasquatch had already set excellent precedents in earlier works on the orca and bald eagle by the time I agreed to compose a guide to the grizzly. The basic requirement is to get it down briefly, and to get it right. I think it works very well as a brief introduction to the history, natural history, troubled present and risky future for one of nature's great creations.Lance Olsen Montana

This review is from: Field Guide to the Grizzly Bear (Sasquatch Field Guide Series) (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in grizzly bears. It contained a lot of important information without a lot of unnecessary reading. Short and straight to the point.The sketches were beautiful. The book is also easy to carry along for grizzly bear watchers.
