During a recent trip to Alaska where I was photographing Grizzly bears, I wanted to acquire a book or two that would be good representations of professional bear photography. I looked at many (and there are many good ones). Of the outstanding books I previewed, none were more professional and complete than Ward's. He is the consummate naturalist, always getting his pictures, but never to the detriment of the animal. He has many interesting stories to tell, and he tells them well. The cover photo is fantastic, and it is rivaled by many more inside the book. I have looked through this book several times since I returned from my trip, and it is a fine reminder of the Great Land... and a great animal. Thank you Mr. Ward.

Kennan Ward: "Grizzlies in the wild":This is the stuff that gets a "couch potato" out to the campsites! Nature at it's extreme, Indian legend, bears so huge and unique that they are known far and wide by their names alone, Carniverous and dangerous, the author respects them all. The tenacity of ward's pursuits and his dedication as a photographer, brings us one of the most informative, entertaining, inspiring and picturesque books that I've read in a very long time.

As a former National Park Ranger, a naturalist, and a professional wildlife photographer, Kennan Ward presents a captivating view of grizzly bears in their natural surroundings. I was left in awe of these magnificent creatures.

1994's "Grizzlies in the Wild" is former park ranger and professional photographer Kennan Ward's superb collection of grizzly bear photos, most or all apparently taken in and around Denali National Park and McNeill River in Alaska. The collection captures grizzly bears at work and play in all seasons, in family groupings and as single bears, and includes some short essays by way of commentary. "Grizzlies in the Wild" is highly recommended to fans of Alaska's bears, even in used condition.

Combined with tales of encounters with wildlife. The author a bear management ranger for the park services has put together a rewarding book. Staying out of trouble doing this work is the first requirement. Beautiful pictures varte a bonus. Good source before you gvo into the wild.
