But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point.

From the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic, the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West, journalist Gloria Dickie explores each bear’s story, meeting figures on the front lines of conservation efforts and explaining the unparalleled challenges bears face. Weaving together ecology, history, and mythology, Eight Bears reveals our volatile relationship with these magnificent mammals—and warns us what we risk losing if we don’t learn to live alongside them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
