Reach latent ancestral memories of cave days when humans were potential prey? Indeed, there are those who say their nightmares involved bears before they ever saw one, either in the flesh or in the movies. Unfortunately, these nightmares all too often come true. People perform almost superhuman feats in their fight to survive bear attacks. Jim Marriott, for instance, was attacked and mauled by a grizzly while carving out a moose head. When playing dead didn't work, he slammed his skinning knife into the attacker's neck. The surprised bear backed off only to charge again, cut his tongue trying to bite at the knife, and got the knife sunk into the same place. By the third charge, Marriott was on his feet despite chewed buttocks and damaged legs. This time the bear left with the knife still sticking in his neck. \"In bear attacks, the human survival instinct is extraordinary,\" says a doctor who sees the terrible punishment victims of bear attacks live through. \"And equally amazing are the heroics and seemingly superhuman efforts of those around the victims.\" \tBEAR ATTACKS OF THE CENTURY gathers together these stories of courage, chronicling the most horrific encounters between bears and people. With expert advice on avoiding attacks and information that may help both species leave an encounter unscathed, this book is required reading for hikers, hunters, campers, or anyone visiting bear country, and those who want to learn more about these sometimes deadly but always fascinating animals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOURAGE BY CONTAGION  CEASELESS TERROR \t THE GRIZZLY SKULL CRACKER  DEATH CAME CALLING  BULLDOZER BEAR\t  ONE HUNTER'S DEATHLY PREMONITION  DEVIL'S CLUB BEAR  DINNER BELL BEARS  HOW TO BE SAFE IN BEAR COUNTRY  TUNDRA TERROR  THE GRIZZLY JINX  SLAMMED INTO SUFFOCATION  NIGHTMARE HUNT  BEAR IN CAMP  WHO WILL BE THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB?
