Bear Attacks is a thorough and unflinching study of attacks made on humans. This is the sometimes horrific, yet always instructive, story of Bear and Human, written by the leading scientific authority in the field. This book is for everyone who camps, hikes, or visits bear country -and for anyone who wants to learn more about these fearsome but always fascinating wild creatures.

This book was not only very informative, but interesting. It is a really good book to read if you are going to hike in any area where bears inhabit. There are some useful tips which could avoid you getting into a very difficult situation. I would recommend this book as a good book to read!
