Bears: Their Life and Behavior: A Photographic Study of the North
American Species
by: Ashworth, William & Wolfe, Art
This is a superb photographic study by Art Wolfe, one of the world's foremost
nature photographers. He vividly portrays in their wilderness retreats
and typical habitats all of the three North American bear species -- brown
(grizzly) bears, black bears, and polar bears -- over 170 of his stunning
photographs of bears in action: working and playing, food gathering, romping,
fighting, and courting. There is an awe-inspiring close-up portrait of
an Alaskan grizzly gaping at the camera. A brown bear catches salmon.
A grizzly shows its speed chasing squirrels. Black bear cubs huddle against
a tree. A polar bear feeds on kelp. A polar bear crosses an iced-over
lagoon. Standing to full height on its hind legs, a polar bear checks
out an intruder. William Ashworth has written an enlightening text based
on exhaustive research and a working life spent primarily in bear country.
In an introductory chapter he explores the human fascination with bears
and their highly distinctive anatomy and physiology. Then he covers in
great detail the three specific North American bear species -- where each
one lives, their migration patterns, their summer and winter ranges, their
habitat requirements, and the unpredictability of bear behavior and the
reasons to be wary of them. Finally, he discusses bear management and
conservation. 210 pgs.
