Much more than a report on human-bear interactions, this compelling story intimately explores our relationship with one of the world's most powerful predators. An authentic and thoughtful work, it blends outdoor adventure, history, and elements of memoir to present a mesmerizing portrait of Alaska's brown bears and grizzlies, informed by the species' larger history and their fragile future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bjorn Dihle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1680513095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680513097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mountaineers Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards - Silver Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2020 pg. 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/23\/2021","brand":"Bjorn Dihle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051540934911,"sku":"9781680513097","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00ac9da5-3519-4bb1-9fac-07f0f0141692.jpg?v=1685013709","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-shape-in-the-dark-bjorn-dihle-9781680513097","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
