Book – Among Bears in Alaska (2016)

Description

Bears have fascinated people for centuries. For some they are unpredictable beasts, for others they are cute cuddly pets. For David Bittner, they are neither one nor the other. The passionate biologist and photographer spent many summers among bears in the Alaskan wilderness. With patience and empathy he was able to build an extraordinary relationship of trust with some animals. They accept him in close proximity and let him participate in their lives. The author has seen some bears grow up and seen how the animals find their place in the complex social structure. The ambitious animal and nature photographer has documented the life of these bears in numerous photos. With well-founded specialist knowledge and exciting reports, this spectacular illustrated book brings us closer to the bears in a very special way. Photos: David Bittner, Paul Souders 26x31cm; approx. 272 pages (200 color images), published by AT Verlag (2016).
