Bears: Without Fear

Fear of mirknig.com bears seems almost to be part of what it is to be human.

Our species emerged out of the depths of time into a world already populated by these great carnivores.

Before we mastered iron and later developed firearms, we had few defences against bears—only watchful caution and elaborate ceremonies and sacrifices to ward off fear.

Where human populations grow, bears have traditionally dwindled or disappeared. But when we return to the wild, mirknig.com to places where bears still survive, all our primeval fears awaken again.

The risk of an automobile accident on the way to bear country far outstrips the risk of a close-range encounter with a bear, but its the bear that worries us as we hurtle down the pavement at a hundred kilometres an hour.

In this timely and sensitive book, Kevin Van Tighem calls on decades of experience, knowledge and understanding in order to enlighten readers about our relationship with and attitude toward bears. mirknig.com

Along the way we are confronted with the realities confronting these great animals as a result of our ever-expanding human population and their ever-shrinking natural habitat.
