A lot of good information without a lot of reading!

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in grizzly bears. It contained a lot of important information without a lot of unnecessary reading. Short and straight to the point.The sketches were beautiful. The book is also easy to carry along for grizzly bear watchers.

second edition (1996) better than the first (1992)

Now in its second printing, with correction of a couple earlier errors, the Field Guide to the Grizzly Bear covers 500,000 years of this species' existence in just 48 pages. As the author, I can appreciate how difficult it is to write about so much in so few words. The field guide series by Sasquatch had already set excellent precedents in earlier works on the orca and bald eagle by the time I agreed to compose a guide to the grizzly. The basic requirement is to get it down briefly, and to get it right. I think it works very well as a brief introduction to the history, natural history, troubled present and risky future for one of nature's great creations.Lance Olsen Montana
