5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding book by two Idaho bear biologists, March 10, 1999
This review is from: A Shadow in the Forest: Idaho's Black Bear (Northwest Naturalist Books) (Paperback)
Most books about bears are filled with nonsense and drivel; A Shadow In The Forest provides facts you can trust from two Idaho bear biologists. Outstanding. I'm the author of Backcountry Bear Basics, and this is one of the few books about bears I can recommend with no reservations.

This review is from: A Shadow in the Forest: Idaho's Black Bear (Northwest Naturalist Books) (Paperback)
An excellent book full of great scientific data from an extended study. For those of us that want detailed data for a greater understanding of these magnificent creatures, this book is a must!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Review of a Shadow In The Forest, September 16, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: A Shadow in the Forest: Idaho's Black Bear (Northwest Naturalist Books) (Paperback)
I was deeply disappointed in this book. It reads like a graduate student's thesis; full of statistics and graphs. I guess this is o.k., if one is interested in raw data. But, as for the average reader, it might take some effort to complete it and not just "skip through" to the end, which is what I did.

At the begining of each chapter, one of the authors tells an aluring story which captures the reader's imagination and interest, but the book immediately reverts to the same old boring statistics.

This is a graduate study paper made into a book.
