"At once a stirring adventure tale, a candid and often hilarious personal memoir, an offbeat natural history, and a smart literary chronicle, Paul Schullery's The Bear Doesn't Know is a bear-lover's book of wonders-rich in the joy, beauty, and inspiration found during a life well-lived in bear country"-- Provided by publisher
