Summary:
"In a series of remarkable journeys, Brian Payton
travels
the world in search of the eight remaining
bear
species. Along the way, he encounters poachers in the jungles of Cambodia, the cruelty of China’s
bear
bile trade, and Canada’s insatiable polar
bear
paparazzi. From the spectacled bears of a cursed Peruvian mountain, to the man-eating sloth bears of India, Payton vividly captures the power and beauty of these majestic creatures while exploring their unique place within very different cultures. His quest ultimately leads to the Colorado Plateau, where an ancient reverence for black bears collides with the will of trophy hunters in pursuit of game they do not eat. The result is a collection of gripping and moving meditations on the fate of wilderness--and the vestiges of wildness in us all."--From publisher.
