Spend a year in the wilds of Alaska with the most ferocious of American mammals. From spring thaw through the endless light of Arctic summer, from the spectacular and panoramic color of the short Alaskan autumn to the deep snows of the bitter polar winter, noted wildlife photographer Michio Hoshimo tracks a family of Alaskan grizzlies. In photograph after fascinating photograph, he captures the intimate details of their lives in the wild, whether at play or on the hunt. This is wildlife photography at its very finest, set against the rugged and awesome beauty of the Alaskan wilderness. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I had an unusual connection with Hoshino.Visiting Alaska and BC in 1996 (on our honeymoon), while in Barrow I read on a photocopied news headline sheet that he had recently been killed by bears while on a shoot. Travelling south we wound up in the Queen Charlotte Islands and staying at a floating base camp for a few days I saw one of his books on the shelf. I recognized the name and told our hosts the news. They were shocked--they had taken him out on private tours of the islands a few times and knew him very well. I ordered this book soon afterwards. Hoshino was obviously a very patient photographer and possibly a bit too drawn to the bears. His talent is obvious.
