Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"[R] equired reading." --Rocky Mountain News

Los Angeles Times

I've read Stephen Herrero's gripping and information [book] and I recommend the same thing for anyone going to bear country, whether a casual day hiker or a back-country pro.

Bill Bryson

With black bears, however, playing dead is futile, since they will continue chewing on you until you are considerably past caring. It is also foolish to climb a tree because black bears are adroit climbers and, as Herrero dryly notes, you will simply end up fighting the bear in a tree.
