Book Description
Spirit Bear is the story of Charles Russell's quest to forge a unique relationship of mutual trust with the rare kermode bear of Princess Royal Island. Russell believes that many problems associated with bears, in particular attacks on people, are the direct result of their dependence on human food or garbage. Russell has spent many years studying bears in their natural habitat. He describes his early encounters with bears in the Rockies and Alaska, shared with his father, well-known writer Andy Russell, and his encounters with grizzlies in British Columbia's Khutzeymateen Valley. This wonderful book, which is illustrated with 100 stunning colour photographs, is part of an ongoing effort by conservationists to save Princess Royal Island as a sanctuary for the Kermode bear.
