SUMMARY:Lecture: Wild Bears of Canada
DESCRIPTION:Wild Bears of Canada explores the lives of Canada’s grizzlies\, black bears and polar bears through field photography and the nuanced observations of a career nature guide. \nEdward Savage has spent fifteen years watching bears across some of the country’s most remote terrain— and for many of the bears in this book\, that relationship spans over a decade. Some he first encountered as six-month-old cubs; they are now adults with cubs of their own. That depth of observation is evident on every page of his book: how grizzly mothers raise and wean their young\, what dangers imperil black bears\, and how polar bears locate each other across the sea ice. \nSavage ponders the contradictory relationship humans have with bears: Why do we consider these animals dangerous and aggressive in the wilderness\, yet welcome these furry symbols as snuggly toys and protagonists of movies? \nMore Details
