People too
often portray the grizzly as a vicious killer or
as Winnie the Pooh when neither case is true.
Sometimes grizzlies kill people, and in
exceptionally rare cases they even eat them.
Those incidents are the focus of this book
because that's what makes bears so interesting,
such a huge part of our culture and our
collective imagination. |
