Black Bears: A Natural History

2021

Synopsis

Dave Taylor has spent his life photographing and writing about North American wildlife. In this full color book with more than 100 photographs, maps and charts, Black Bears introduces the reader to this shy, reclusive and largely misunderstood animal with an encyclopedic examination of the black bear's world by state, province and territory.

Of the three species (grizzly/brown, polar and black bear), Taylor examines and portrays his devotion and passion specifically to the black bear, the most populous of the species. A specific section touches upon the bear and people, offering valuable advice when camping in their environment and what to do if one encounters a bear in the wilderness.
