Reviews
"Derek Stonorov has spent much of his life studying brown bear behavior in Alaska as a graduate student, staff member of the world-famous McNeil River State Game Sanctuary, and brown bear viewing guide. His new book chronicles half a century of his remarkable field experience with brown bears. Not only is Derek a good scientist, but he has also written a fun and thrilling story about the behavior, ecology, and conservation of Alaska brown bears, as well as the challenges, excitement, and responsibility of living in harmony with bears. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the conservation of brown bears and their Alaska wilderness habitat."--John Schoen, author of Tongass Odyssey: Seeing the Forest Ecosystem through the Politics of Trees, "Readers with any curiosity regarding humans' encounters with other species in the environment will find Stonorov's view of his own life in nature worthwhile."--J. Kemper Campbell, Lincoln Journal Star, "Now we can say that Derek Stonorov literally 'wrote the book' about the behavior of Alaska's coastal brown bears. As a pioneer and continuing expert in the field, he not only shares his half century of learning but proves himself to be a superb storyteller. This book will fascinate anyone interested in animal or human behavior or in the process of scientific inquiry."--Nancy Lord, author of Beluga Days and Early Warming, "'Watch the Bear' is the title of this book, and it's what Stonorov does on nearly every page. Through a series of interesting, sometimes funny, and occasionally hair-raising stories, he encourages readers to do likewise. Be cautious and respectful, he advises, but not fearful. Watch the bears. They have a lot to tell us."--David James, Anchorage Daily News, "Derek Stonorov has spent much of his life studying brown bear behavior in Alaska as a graduate student, staff member of the world-famous McNeil River State Game Sanctuary, and brown bear viewing guide. His new book chronicles half a century of his remarkable field experience with brown bears. Not only is Derek a good scientist; he has also written a fun and thrilling story about the behavior, ecology, and conservation of Alaska brown bears as well as the challenges, excitement, and responsibility of living in harmony with bears. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the conservation of brown bears and their Alaska wilderness habitat."--John Schoen, author of Tongass Odyssey: Seeing the Forest Ecosystem through the Politics of Trees
