Book SynopsisTrade Review"Fans of bears—and of hearty nature writing—will take pleasure in Chaney’s paean."
* Kirkus Reviews *
"Robert Chaney tells the story of grizzly bear as an icon and apredator. The book reads like a who’s who of scientists, authors, photographers, and Department of Interior battles that have focused on the grizzly for the past four decades."
* The Missoulian *
"A well-written and thought-provoking analysis of this pressing issue."
* The Literary West *
"Illustrated with stories and fortified with facts, Chaney reveals layers of complexity providing a multitude of perspectives in his thorough account."
* Outside Bozeman *
"[A] timely, important read about much more than how humans are trying to co-exist with such a formidable wild mammal. Chaney’s book raises moral questions about what kind of West we want to live in."
* Billings Gazette *
"Meticulous new research methods reveal fascinating insights into bear behavior. Author Robert Chaney has spent decades observing human-grizzly encounters and challenges traditional thinking about conservation and preserving the wild."
* NPR Books *
"A sobering but modestly optimistic tale of a wilderness icon that refuses to stay in the wilderness set aside for it."
