For the past seven years my partner and I have been privileged enough to live for five months of the year in a remote wood-frame cabin we built in the South Kamchatka Sanctuary, Siberia. This varied and beautiful landscape is home to the world's densest concentration of brown bears, formidable creatures who travel well-worn paths through the tundra\". This is the story of Chico, Biscuit and Rosie, three orphan grizzly cubs who were rescued from a Moscow zoo and taught to survive as wild bears in the South Kamchatka Sanctuary. Charlie and Maureen Enns have studied bears in their natural Siberian habitat for the past eight years. During this time they rescued the three orphaned cubs and created a home for them near their cabin in South Kamchatka. The couple's day to day life with these three bears is captured in this unique record, which contains 176 full-colour photographs taken by the authors.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49610032152849,"sku":"GOR001262629","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50343957496081,"sku":"CIN0091799821G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53121675723025,"sku":"GOR003777822","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0091799821.jpg?v=1751450618"},{"product_id":"grizzly-heart-book-charlie-russell-9780679311959","title":"Grizzly Heart","description":"An absorbing first-hand account of living with bears, from the acclaimed author of\u0026gt;\u003cb\u003eThe Spirit Bear\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo many people, grizzlies are symbols of power and ferocity -- creatures to be feared and, too often, killed. But Charlie Russell, who has had a forty-year relationship with bears, holds the controversial belief that it is possible to live with and truly understand bears in the wild. And for five years now, Russell and his partner, artist and photographer Maureen Enns, have spent summers on the Kamchatka peninsula, located on the northeast coast of Russia, and home of the densest population of brown bears in the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrizzly Heart\u003c\/b\u003e tells the remarkable story of how Russell and Enns have defied the preconceptions of wildlife officials and the general public by living unthreatened -- and respected -- among the grizzlies of Kamchatka. In an honest and immediate style, Russell tells of the trials and successes of their years in the field, from convincing Russian officials to allow them to study, to adopting three bear cubs left orphaned when their mother was killed by a hunter (and teaching these cubs how to survive in the wild), to raising environmental awareness through art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough a combination of careful study and personal dedication, Russell and Enns are persuading people to reconsider the age-old image of the grizzly bear as a ferocious man-eater and perpetual threat. Through their actions, they demonstrate that it is possible to forge a mutually respectful relationship with these majestic giants, and provide compelling reasons for altering our culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe have been able to live beautifully with these animals, with no serious threat, because of what we've learned. Hopefully, sharing what we learn will help people -- and be a big help to our bears, too.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49634949988625,"sku":"GOR002689254","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49644822954257,"sku":"GOR004181323","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50014237557009,"sku":"CIN0679311955G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50420776337681,"sku":"CIN0679311955VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0679311955.jpg?v=1751448123"},{"product_id":"grizzly-seasons-book-charlie-russell-9781552978566","title":"Grizzly Seasons","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50726057541905,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50726058426641,"sku":"CIN1552978567VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53608111833361,"sku":"CIN1552978567G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1552978567.jpg?v=1750761883"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-charlie-russell.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
