Bear Attacks - The Deadly Truth

This book contains an assemblage of the most accurately detailed bear attack stories you’ll ever read. But more than that, this is the only publication with a complete explanation of the underlying causes for these terrible events. In addition, there are two secondary themes running through these pages that distinguish this book from all other bear books: an exploration of how natural systems really operate and a thorough examination of the battle now raging in many areas of North America between conservationism and preservationism. The author’s views are based on over 30 years of bush experience and research while living in the remote Central Coast of British Columbia. His knowledge is not that of an observer, but rather as a participant in nature. This material indicates that a significant portion of our cultural beliefs regarding bears and other predators is not only incorrect, but, unfortunately, dangerous. Gary Shelton’s first book, Bear Encounter Survival Guide, has become the authoritative work on how to survive bear attacks. It contains the first-ever definitive description of bear aggressive behaviour and provides realistic strategies for surviving bear attacks. It is now used by the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Alaska, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Western Canada, the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, plus hundreds of companies and thousands of individuals. This second book is also destined to become required reading for those who share the woods with bears.
