Bear Attacks is a thorough and unflinching study of attacks made on Man by the great grizzly and the less aggressive, but occasionally deadly, black bear.

This book is for everyone who hikes, camps, or visits bear country - and for anyone who wants to know more about these sometimes fearsome but always fascinating wild creatures.
