Coexisting with grizzly bears into the future will be an increasing challenge and require a deep understanding of these large carnivores and what factors make their populations tick. Based on perhaps the longest uninterrupted wildlife research project done by one individual, this is the intertwined story of the science underlying our understanding of grizzlies and raising a family in a small log cabin along the Flathead River. In a profound mix of science and memoir, Dr. Bruce McLellan takes readers into a unique world of timely research, inspiring landscapes, and amazing personal experiences that will uncover what scientists know about grizzly bears, how they learn about them, and what such knowledge could do to contribute to our ongoing relationship with wilderness and wild places.
