This up-close, captivating look at an iconic animal traces our
complex relationship to bears throughout history-and what they can
tell us about ourselves. On Being a Bear draws on history, legends,
scientific studies, and the author's thirty years of observing
bears around the world to offer a richly detailed biography of
these iconic animals, including the many ways bears have figured in
our lives and imaginations. As author Remy Marion tells us, some
cultures view bears as our wild cousins-as humans cloaked in
fur-while others cast bears as cuddly characters in cartoons or
seek to eradicate their grizzled forms from civilization.
Scientists have made new discoveries into bears' varied diets,
their powerful sense of smell, and a mother bear's stubborn
patience with her cubs. Bears play a vital role in our ecosystems,
and new studies into bear hibernation could lead to medical
breakthroughs for humans. Offering these and more astonishing
insights, On Being a Bear brings readers face-to-face with these
long admired, feared, and misunderstood animals, and sets the
record straight through a combination of thrilling science and
expert storytelling.
