Man Eaters - True Tales of Animals Stalking, Mauling, Killing and Eating Human Prey (Hardcover, illustrated edition)

The reports and eyewitness accounts present here span many years and varied global settings, ranging from the desolate to breath-taking Edens where the beauty of the land belies the atmosphere of tragedy. Some of the stories are legendary - "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo," for instance. Some, like the grizzly attacks in national parks, were once newspaper headlines. Others are obscure events of individual heroism and ordeal, no less gripping for their obscurity. The rewards of the outdoor life touch something deep and satisfying inside many of us. The wild country that can sustain bears and other magnificent creatures looms in our thoughts constantly, pulling us beyond pavement's end. We follow the trails taken by countless kindred spirits, including naturalists such as John Muir, who urged, "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees." While pursuing such wilderness experiences, we must respect the fact that other creatures share the same ground. A priority for us all must be the sensibilities and woodsmanship by which we can avoid the types of ugly and unfortunate incidents that are recounted in these pages. (61/4 X 91/4, 356 pages)
