Interesting look at the eight species of bears, their wildness as well as their place within the human world, both culturally and physically.

(Or, should we say how we’ve pushed our world into theirs, thereby making their world smaller and less inhabitable…Much of the book also discussed current and past conservation efforts, along with the need for major future changes in order to preserve entire species, with devastating and irreversible consequences occurring possibly as soon as century’s end.)
