by Charlie Russell and
Maureen Enns
Coffee table companion to Grizzly
Heart.
Grizzly Seasons is a beautifully
printed book that is particularly valuable
for the view it provides on bear behavior.
The intimacy and originality of the
photographs testify to the remarkable rapport
that Canadian naturalists Charlie Russell
and Maureen Enns were able to establish
with the bears that inhabit the southern
part of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Detailed captions and short, thoughtful
commentary by Charlie outline the growth
of their orphaned cubs as well as his philosophy
of how to conduct oneself with bears when
in the wild.
Photos in the album are focused on Kamchatka's
brown bear population but there are also
some gorgeous pictures of the volcanic,
tundra-like wilderness that is predominant
towards the southern end of Kamchatka.
Publisher's Comments
"A spectacular journey into
the heart of bear country, with more than
175 full-color photographs, from the authors
of Grizzly Heart. The moments of
unexpected communion they've captured on
film will change the way you think about
bears forever."
