Living With Bears Handbook
Updated 2nd Edition
by Linda Masterson
Today bears have a growing people-problem: their “backyards” are full of humans and people-provided food is everywhere. Discover practical solutions and real-world examples of how to prevent conflicts at home and at play so we can do a better job of sharing space with these intelligent, adaptable animals.
REVIEWS
"You have done a unique and powerful thing,
bridging passion, science and practical management. Your insightful,
well researched and witty book will guide and inspire humans to live in
greater harmony with bears."
— Steve Herrero, author of Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance, and Past President of the International Association for Bear Research and Management (IBA)
"If you live in bear country (and, unless you're an
inner-city resident, you probably do), you owe it to bears to read this
smart, useful and long-overdue book. Don't let them die because of your
or your neighbors' mistakes."
— Ted Williams, Editor-at-Large, Audubon, and Conservation Editor, Fly Rod & Reel
"I have over 350 bear publications in my personal library and
I must say that this is one of my favorites. A wonderful, well written
book, full of useful information on how to live with bears. I especially
liked the tips spread throughout the book by noted bear biologist Tom
Beck."
— William R. Cramer, Durango, Colorado
