Do (Not) Feed the Bears: The Fitful History of Wildlife and Tourists in Yellowstone

Everybody who loves Yellowstone (and any other park for that matter) really would enjoy this book. It's an easy read with lots of stories and informative history. I'd always known that we shouldn't feed the bears-- this book helped me understand why.

good read.

Great book

Yeap, I bought the book because of the adorable cover, and I am not at all sorry. The book is brief, readable and informative. It covers bear policy at Yellowstone, but not simplistically. Rather, it uses bear management policy to talk about our own ideas about nature, wilderness, and how those ideas have changed over the past 100 years. It is largely jargon free--or at least always explains it--and I found the book a delight.

Factual but in all honesty a bit of a dull read. If you're interested in the history of the park management of yellow stone then it's the book for you, otherwise there are much better books about bears.
