Bears have long held a central place in our collective memory, from
Greek mythology and Indigenous folklore to medieval fairytales and
the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer
contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, only eight
bear species remain, some icons of the natural world (such as the
panda bear and the polar bear), others obscure (such as the
spectacled bear and the sloth bear). From the cloud forests of the
Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic, the jungles of India to the
woods of the Rocky Mountains, journalist Gloria Dickie explores
each bear’s story, meeting figures on the front lines of
conservation efforts and explaining the unparalleled challenges
bears face. Weaving together ecology, history, and
mythology, Eight Bears reveals our volatile relationship with
these magnificent mammals—and warns us what we risk losing if we
don’t learn to live alongside them.
