What the Bears Know
Author: Steve Searles
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1639365028
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The incredible story of how one man went from a hired hunter to becoming one of America’s top champions for this iconic animal. In this wonderous and eye-opening exploration, Steve Searles, the reknown and respected "Bear Whisperer" of Mammoth Lakes, takes the reader on a journey into the lives of these remarkable creatures and the world we share. In the late 1990s, the town of Mammoth Lakes, California hired Steve Searles as a hunter to cull half its troublesome bear population. But as he began to prepare for the grim task, the bears soon won him over, and Searles realized there had to be a better way. He soon developed non-lethal tactics to control their behavior and overpopulation that heralded a landmark moment in the care and handling of the American black bear. But change was not without its challenges. To some, his success was dismissed due to his lack of formal academic training. Yet Searles never wavered in his commitment, and eventually became not just local folk hero but a nationally recognized expert. This high school dropout saved not just the bears, but, in many ways, his community. In a tradition that runs from John Muir to Bear Grylls, Searles finds a fellowship with nature and a deeper meaning in the world of bears. Do bears understand things we don’t? Are they dialed in to some greater natural force? Unlike us, bears waste little time on unreasonable fears. Bears are fully in the moment. They have an inner peace that seems to offset their power and strength. That may explain why no other animal on the planet is as revered as the bear. As Searles shares his remarkable knowledge and we become immersed in the ursine world, you’ll never look at bears or nature the same way again. Warm and poignant, and perfect for anyone who has been fascinated by the natural world, What the Bears Know shows that wisdom and fulfillment can come from unexpected places.

Book Description
With the fate of the Wild Ridge Bears hanging in the balance, can Bo find his true mate before it’s too late? Bo Calvin is running out of time. As one of the last two Alpha bear shifters on Wild Ridge without a mate, he’s facing madness and certain death. When he finds Oona trespassing on Calvin lands, his attraction to her hits him like a thunder bolt. She’s fierce and beautiful like some Amazonian goddess. But, another Alpha has already made a claim for her. Bo knows she’s meant for him, but acting on it could lead to an all-out clan war. Oona Ryan has a secret. She’s spent her whole life thinking she’s got a monster inside of her. Because of it, she’s lost her family and her home. A cryptic letter from her dying mother leads her to Wild Ridge in search of answers. What she finds instead turns her world upside down and reveals a shocking betrayal. Being among a group of virile bears calls to Oona’s nature in ways she never expected. One stolen kiss from Bo Calvin brings out her own, ancient primal power. But, her attraction to him comes with a price and her presence on the ridge leads the clans to the brink of civil war. Reader’s Note: Each book in the Wild Ridge Bears series is a full length, standalone, cliffhanger free, super sexy, bear shifter romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. You can read them in any order but the scorching hot events within each are interconnected and happen chronologically. These bears are hot, dominant, and fiercely protective of their mates. Their women are just as strong and like to misbehave. Come along and enjoy the ride! Book Themes: Shifter romance, paranormal romance, alpha bear, werewolf, werewolves, witchcraft, magic, strong female heroine, steamy romance, love triangle, fated mates

Food and Feast in Modern Outlaw Tales
Author: Alexander L. Kaufman
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429590172
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
This collection of scholarly essays presents new work from an emerging line of inquiry: modern outlaw narratives and the textual and cultural relevance of food and feasting. Food, its preparation and its consumption, is presented in outlaw narratives as central points of human interaction, community, conflict, and fellowship. Feast scenes perform a wide variety of functions, serving as cultural repositories of manners and behaviors, catalysts for adventure, or moments of regrouping and redirecting narratives. The book argues that modern outlaw narratives illuminate a potent cross-cultural need for freedom, solidarity, and justice, and it examines ways in which food and feasting are often used to legitimate difference, create discord, and manipulate power dynamics.
