Author-Dan Wakeman and Wendy Shymanski

At a time when the world is taking more interest than ever in the fate of North America’s grizzly bear population, two avid naturalists take us inside one of the grizzlies’ most inspiring strongholds. Fortress of the Grizzlies delivers a unique perspective based on Dan and Wendy’s years of respectful interaction with a community of grizzlies, challenging our ideas about this powerful, but also vulnerable, creature.

Highlights of the book include:

• the story of one family of bears, based on observations recorded over a ten-year period.
• new insights into how to predict and understand grizzly behaviour.
• descriptions of individual grizzlies in the sanctuary.
• beautiful full-colour photography throughout.

Dan Wakeman has lived in the company of grizzlies over the last fifteen seasons as one of only two licensed guides in the Khutzeymateen, near the border between Alaska and British Columbia. Photographer Wendy Shymanski, who has worked with Dan since the mid-1990s, has amassed a folio of exquisite colour pictures of the unique bears in this remote sanctuary.
