World-renown Whistler is home to some of the most awe-inspiring animals on earth: black bears. In A WHISTLER BEAR STORY, you'll meet the real black bears of Whistler -- Jeanie, Katie, Marissa, Fitz and Slip among others. They den near favorite ski runs, graze in open meadows under chair lifts, munch on golf course grass, and devour berries alongside mountain bike trails. And sometimes, to their misfortune, they come into town, raid garbage bins, eat berries in people's yards, and even break into homes and restaurants looking for food. Find out what it's like to live in a town where bears roam the forests nearby, and learn what the town is doing to minimize human-bear conflict and preserve our fragile coexistence.

An astonishing memoir about how one woman survived a brutal attack by a grizzly bear, and how she recovered—as a survivor, a wife and a mother. “Overwhelmingly inspirational.... Van Tighem’s story is a testament to human strength” —The Plain Dealer On a chilly autumn morning in 1983, during a relaxing escape to the Canadian Rockies, Patricia Van Tighem and her husband were attacked by a grizzly bear. Although they survived, their ordeal was just beginning. For years Van Tighem endured numerous surgeries as doctors attempted to reconstruct her face and ease her pain. The nightmares that haunted her carried their own psychological burden. In many ways she had to redefine her sense of who she was. Van Tighem’s tale is astonishing and beautifully written. Showing a resilience that has overcome even the most traumatic of events, The Bear’s Embrace is a truly inspiring testament to the power of the human spirit.

Audun’s Story is the tale of an Icelandic farmhand who buys a polar bear in Greenland for no other reason than to give it to the Danish king, half a world away. It can justly be listed among the finest pieces of short fiction in world literature. Terse in the best saga style, it spins a story of complex competitive social action, revealing the cool wit and finely-calibrated reticence of its three main characters: Audun, Harald Hardradi, and King Svein. The tale should have much to engage legal and cultural historians, anthropologists, economists, philosophers, and students of literature. The story’s treatment of gift-exchange is worthy of the fine anthropological and historical writing on gift-exchange; its treatment of face-to-face interaction a match for Erving Goffman.

Black Bear's Book By: Joseph T. Falco Native American lore captured the heart and mind of Joseph Taylor Falco at a very early age. One could always find him in the forest looking for Native American relics or the edge of a lake or stream looking for trout. He also has a close connection to the ocean, where he spent many hours with his father on the fifty-foot Hatteras fishing boat "The Beagle" searching for the "big one," fishing for tuna and marlin. Having majored in history at Holy Cross University, he developed an uncanny ability to sort through some of the mysteries that swirl around the famous shaman of North America and their way of life. Through his writings, the reader is able to more fully understand the process that made this book possible. His love of the natural world and his unique spiritual connection to it is revealed throughout. Afterwards, readers will leave with a feeling that they have stepped back in time and glimpsed the true Native American way of life. A genius by modern-day standards, Falco's mind goes beyond the realm of present reality and into a dimension that only he can see and feel. That dramatic backstory, combined with the inspirational aspect of his writing, will provide hours of reading pleasure that goes well beyond the literary realm. It is his hope that the stories, poems, and pictures in this book will, in some small way, help those of us who cannot see into this dimension better understand the Native People of this great country.
