Paul Nicklen, wildlife photojournalist, showcases his stunning photography for National Geographic with this collection of North American bears: the grizzly, polar bear, black bear and the rarest spirit bear. Evocative storytelling combines with Nicklen's landmark photographs to reveal the truths and myths about these amazing creatures, and sheds light on their threatened ecosystems. Years of photographing bears in their habitat have given Nicklen a special understanding of these majestic mammals: the polar bear, ranked most popular species on Earth; the grizzly, feared and misunderstood; and the black bear, as well as its precious white counterpart, the spirit bear. Nicklen believes that sharing knowledge and stories about bears will impact the way we think of them, and thus ensure their future. Well-known environmentalists such as Wade Davis, Sylvia Earle, Werner Herzog, and Nicklen himself contribute essays to enhance the message of Nicklen's photographs. Quotes from literary figures punctuate the pages, offering insight into the magnificence of these impressive mammals. An epilogue takes a global look at the future of bears.

{PRETITLE} Bear: Spirit of the Wild {POSTTITLE}

Wow! Such a short word, but doesn't even begin to convey the sense of wonder and inspiration this book placed into my heart. Paul Nicklen has a gift-and he wants to share it with the world. This is the third book I have purchased by him, and as soon as he publishes another, it will join my library as well. Paul travels the world, documenting species which exist in delicate ecosystems, and whose very lives are threatened. Not all of us will ever be able to travel to the parts of the globe that Paul can, but he shares it with us, through his images, and through his words. I doubt that I will ever see a Spirit Bear, a Grizzly Bear, or a Polar Bear in person (although I was lucky enough to see a Black Bear in the wild once in Alaska), but through his images, I really feel that I am there as well. I loved these images, I loved the quotes that were interspersed throughout the book, and I REALLY appreciated the information that he provides along with these vivid photographs. His work appeals to multigenerations, with my teenaged daughter, my 20something daughter, myself, and my 60something year old friend all enjoying his work equally, although for different reasons. If you have any interest in wildlife, conservation, the arctic ecosystems, or just love and wonder at nature in general, you will not be disappointed by this beautiful book. When you buy it-don't keep it to yourself. Share it with friends, with family, with anyone you feel it may touch, you will be amazed at how just about everyone can find something in it to identify with, and hold close to their own hearts.
