Walking with Bears: One Man's Relationship with Three Generations of Wild Bears

DeBruyn, a biologist specializing in black bears, believes that the only way to protect a wild species is to determine precisely what they do all day.To answer these questions, DeBruyn pioneered a G.P.S. monitoring system for radio-collared bears, but soon realized the only way to truly understand the animal is to enter its world. And so begins his incredible story.

With enormous patience and respect, DeBruyn succeeds in acclimating a North American black bear with cubs to his presence. "Walking with Bears" is an endearing and moving tale of interspecies friendship.
