True Grizz Glimpses of Fernie, Stahr, Easy, Dakota, and Other Real Bears in the Modern World

"Doug Chadwick is one of our country's most eloquent and compassionate and informed biologists, a core of wisdom and experience. His observations and insights illuminate the shadows of a wilder, though vanishing, natural world. Like the threatened grizzlies of the Northern Rockies about which he writes so beautifully, Chadwick himself is a national treasure. Please read this book."--Rick Bass, author ofThe Ninemile WolvesandThe Roadless Yaak "Like Chadwick's definitive book about elephants, this book about grizzly bears is a work of close study, measured reflection, and above all appreciation for one of the grandest creatures on earth. The author is a man of great perception and sensitivity. His charm, casual eloquence, and perfect touch as a writer convey a deep honesty and humanity. If grizzly bears could read True Grizz, they would recognize themselves, and they would recognize a kind and respectful friend in Douglas Chadwick."--Matthew Scully, presidential speechwriter and author ofDominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy "True Grizz gives us true-to-life stories of great bears in a disappearing wilderness. Chadwick faithfully follows and poignantly portrays the dramas and dilemmas of bear mothers Fernie and Stahr, among other compelling characters. . . . A heart-stirring book, both practical and inspiring."--Brenda Peterson, author ofBuild Me an Ark: A Life with AnimalsChadwick, Douglas H. is the author of 'True Grizz Glimpses of Fernie, Stahr, Easy, Dakota, and Other Real Bears in the Modern World', published 2003 under ISBN 9781578051007 and ISBN 1578051002.
