Written by wildlife biologists, it examines bear biology, climate change impacts, and human-bear interactions in diverse ecosystems. For conservationists and nature enthusiasts"-- Provided by publisher. Publisher Description Brown bears are powerful symbols of wilderness, thriving in the vast, untamed ecosystems of Alaska's remote national parks. Brown Bears in Alaska's National Parks is a unique and thorough exploration of the conservation, ecology, and management of brown bears in these parks, including examinations of bear biology, human-bear interactions, population estimation methods, and the effects of climate change on bear populations. This lavishly illustrated volume offers fresh perspectives about the complex challenges that bears and humans face as they navigate coexistence in the evolving wilderness of Alaska. Through park-specific chapters, the authors clearly present the current understanding of brown bear ecology across a wide range of ecosystems--from the sparse and frigid Gates of the Arctic, entirely above the Arctic Circle, to the bountiful coast of Katmai, where the marine and terrestrial systems converge. In Glacier Bay, bears roam newly exposed ecosystems shaped by retreating glaciers, while the interior landscapes of Lake Clark and Denali provide a mix of boreal forests, tundra, rivers, and towering mountains. Brown bears--and the many species that share their habitats--face numerous challenges, with climate change among the greatest threats. The warming climate intensifies other pressures, such as industrial development, both within and around park boundaries. Management actions may also reduce native brown bear populations and, in turn, threaten healthy and naturally functioning ecosystems. The adaptability of brown bears, in concert with thoughtful and science-based management, is essential for the conservation of these majestic creatures and the wilderness landscapes on which they depend. Written by the wildlife biologists and anthropologists who have dedicated their careers to studying brown (grizzly) bears and their relationship to people, Brown Bears in Alaska's National Parks is a premier reference for bear enthusiasts, biologists, managers, and academics, as well as advocates for wild things and wild places.

Delay in shipping caused me to believe this item would not be fulfilled so I requested a refund. However, the book did ultimately arrive, after Seller issued the refund. I contacted them to try to arrange a way to remit but Seller replied that I should keep the item and refund would not be reversed. Responded promptly and more than generously. Am certainly returning to this store for further purchases as Seller is honest and everything I’ve purchased from them is high quality and as advertised.
The two new out-of-print books I ordered were exactly as described and shipped promptly. I did ask the seller's support person (an AI chatbot, I think) to be sure to package the items carefully, and "he" said that he'd make that request of the shipping department. I knew this was hooey, and as I expected, the books were shipped in nothing but a padded paper mailer, no other protection. I got lucky, no damage, but don't bother making special requests of this seller.
Book exactly as described. Seller took a while to ship; had to message to ask about my order after a week (business days), which then prompted them to ship the book. They added a tracking number to ebay that didn't update with postal carrier scans, and messaged an outside-ebay link that I was supposed to track the order through, which wasn't great. But the packaging was fine and I received what I ordered, so it worked out.
