Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Shape in the Dark, wilderness guide and lifelong Alaskan Bjorn Dihle weaves personal experience with historical and contemporary accounts to explore the world of brown bears--from encounters with the Lewis and Clark Expedition, frightening attacks including the famed death of Timothy Treadwell, the controversies related to bear hunting, the animal’s place in native cultures, and the impacts on the species from habitat degradation and climate change. Much more than a report on human-bear interactions, this compelling story intimately explores our relationship with one of the world’s most powerful predators. An authentic and thoughtful work, it blends outdoor adventure, history, and elements of memoir to present a mesmerizing portrait of Alaska’s brown bears and grizzlies, informed by the species’ larger history and their fragile future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I met Darrell Farmen in 1975, when he was serving on the Board of Game. Over the next few years, Darrell shared remarkable stories about Alaska's hunting past. I have since hunted Kodiak several times, stayed in the cabins at Karluk Lake and read all the names on the cabin walls from successful hunters guided by this extraordinary outdoorsman. Perhaps, one day you will be inspired to do the same. I am extremely thankful that Darrell has written about his Kodiak adventures. In these pages, Darrell takes you hunting with him, and makes sure you learn something along the way. In addition to the hunting stories, he delineates with great humility many of the trials and tribulations he and others faced. You will understand the harsh Kodiak climate that Darrell and his clients endured and the skills they required to withstand these hardships. If you have hunted bears on Kodiak Island or even dreamt about hunting there, this book is a must-read. Ted Spraker

Download or read book The Bears of Brooks Falls Wildlife and Survival on Alaska s Brooks River written by Michael Fitz and published by The Countryman Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A natural history and celebration of the famous bears and salmon of Brooks River. On the Alaska Peninsula, where exceptional landscapes are commonplace, a small river attracts attention far beyond its scale. Each year, from summer to early fall, brown bears and salmon gather at Brooks River to create one of North America’s greatest wildlife spectacles. As the salmon leap from the cascade, dozens of bears are there to catch them (with as many as forty-three bears sighted in a single day), and thousands of people come to watch in person or on the National Park Service’s popular Brooks Falls Bearcam. The Bears of Brooks Falls tells the story of this region and the bears that made it famous in three parts. The first forms an ecological history of the region, from its dormancy 30,000 years ago to the volcanic events that transformed it into the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. The central and longest section is a deep dive into the lives of the wildlife along the Brooks River, especially the bears and salmon. Readers will learn about the bears’ winter hibernation, mating season, hunting rituals, migration patterns, and their relationship with Alaska’s changing environment. Finally, the book explores the human impact, both positive and negative, on this special region and its wild population.

Download or read book A Kodiak Bear Mauling written by R. Keith Rogan and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-06-30 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few years ago, I survived a horrific mauling by a Kodiak brown bear. This is the story of that event along with additional tales and personal observations about these coastal giants. I have tried to render the events of that day as accurately as possible. Along with that, I've included other personal experiences and observations over the years, some of which were frightening, some funny and some quite beautiful. I discuss other maulings around Alaska in the last few years, and many of the details of those attacks were drawn directly from survivors or witnesses of the event. I want to draw an honest picture of bears and our relationship with bears. We have lived and competed with the bear since man first moved onto the Eurasian mainland hundreds of thousands of years ago. How is that working out for both sides? How smart are bears? How dangerous are they, really? Most importantly, how do we minimize conflict with this large predator for the safety of both species? I try to touch on all this in the book and I hope the reader enjoys the journey as much as I have enjoyed sharing it. The book has been very popular as a Kindle offering and due to popular demand, is now available in this paperback edition. This new edition includes a bonus photo section by the very talented Alaskan photographer, Adina Preston. Her work illustrates the beauty of this mysterious island in ways that my words can only hint at.
