Steve Searles and Chris Erskine's new book is a fascinating and inspiring read.
It is a humorous, deeply humane, and up-close-and-personal read about these fascinating sentient beings."The incredible story of how one man went from a hired hunter to becoming one of America’s top champions for this iconic animal."I love learning about the fascinating nonhumans with whom we share our magnificent planet.
I couldn't wait to read it and learn more about it from the authors. I am pleased Steve and Chris could take the time to answer some questions about their wonderful new book.Steve Searles : I’m the luckiest person in the world. I feel I’ve lived a hundred men’s lives. I wanted to tell that story, and for readers to benefit from my triumphs and errors. No other animal has inspired such deep philosophical questions as bears have.
Chris Erskine : In story after story after story, Steve shows a therapist’s feel for the emotions of bears. I never saw anything like it. I love nature, and this project took me eight layers deeper in my understanding of the wilderness—and of our relationship to it. SS: In the state of California, there are 35,000 bears and 40 million of some of the dumbest people you could ever imagine. Yet encounters rarely go south, even as people behave like total idiots around bears. I’ve seen them cry, scream, play dead. I’ve seen them run at and away from bears. But a bear just keeps being a bear. That’s what intrigues me to no end. There is no sense of retaliation among these magnificent animals.
