Summary: A cultural history and almanac of the bear
Comment: Grizzly Almanac (143-4... provides a cultural history and almanac of the bear, covering everything from hunting regulations and changing environments to bear encounters with humans. An excellent guide to the grizzly.
Rating: 3
Summary: Plagued by dubious cliches
Comment: Fine writing, but the facts are suspect. As an example, the chapter on bear attacks gives the usual spin that the odds of being killed in a car accident on your way to Yellowstone Park are greater than the odds of being killed by a grizzly in Yellowstone. Yeah, there's not much chance of encountering a grizzly in the vast parking lot at Old Faithful, but if you look at the rate of injuries from bears to hikers in Yellowstone's backcountry, it's readily apparent that people hiking in the backcountry are at far greater risk than people driving through the park in their Winnebago.
I give this book 3 stars only because the author is very sincere and trys to give a balanced presentation. In terms of accuracy and relevant facts, the Grizzly Almanac gets 1 star.

Summary: Busch has done it again!
Comment: Once again, Robert H. Busch has successfully compiled a complete and acurrate history of one of nature's greatest achievments. Written in terms that the general public can identify with, and accompanied by a multitude of photographs, charts, appendixes, and glossaries. This book displays all one would ever want and need to know about these great bears. An added touch of using his own photographs allows the reader to identify with the author--he or she is given a glimpse of everything that Busch saw through his camera lense. Quite simply, Busch has personalized the plight of the great bear in an effort to educate the greater population. His words linger long in memory, touching that piece of each of us that feels the need to rectify this outstanding injustice.
