Intellectually and visually stimulating
This book provides a great wealth of knowledge on the black bear and does so in a very relaxed style. The joy experienced in reading this book was only surpassed by the joy in the stunning photography which is present through out. A wonderful work but next to impossible to find.

Buy it for the photographs, ONLY.
I bought this book because the photographs were beautiful and I wanted to learn more about this incredable animal.I was gravely disappointed forI not onlyfound the captions didn't describe the photo but they wereboring.It was as though someone cut statements from the text and tossedthem in a hat then, picked each photo and caption randomly. I didn't findthe text much better.I wanted facts to learn about moose butthe authornever seemed to commit himself.He prefacedstatements with "apparently" or "evidently"or "it seems".I've learned more watching moose out my window than I did from this book.

A must have coffee table book.
Great book, well written, with pages of breathtaking colorful pictures.This book is very easy to read and will fullfill every curiosity you have about the moose.It should be a must for every library. ... Read more
