The grizzly in the driveway : the return of bears to a crowded American west / Robert Chaney. by Chaney, Robert (Environment reporter), author. Seattle : University of Washington Press, [2020] Subjects Grizzly bear -- Conservation -- West (U.S.)   Endangered species -- Conservation -- West (U.S.)   Wildlife conservation -- West (U.S.) ISBN:  9780295747934 (hardcover) 0295747935 (hardcover) Description:  xiv, 271 pages : illustrations, map ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Does the US have too many grizzly bears? The question would have been unimaginable in the early 1970s, when a little over six hundred North American brown bears remained in the lower 48 states and the federal government listed them as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act. But the population has surged. There are now more than 1700, mostly living in Montana, Idaho, and the Yellowstone and Teton areas of Wyoming. Montana journalist Robert Chaney chronicles the grizzly bear resurgence, painting rich portraits of the scientists and advocates involved as well as the west's longer history with the bear. He unpacks this success story to scrutinize the issues involved in wildlife management-the tensions between demands on nature and what people are willing to give up to make that happen, and the ways our mind-boggling leaps in technology has outpaced our collective wisdom about how to use that power. Chaney has covered this story for more than two decades, and draws on original interviews with rangers, ranchers, hunters, scientists, environmental advocates, conservation professionals of tribal nations, and bear-watchers from every walk of life. The book is rich with stories about grizzly encounters-mundane, scientific, sublime, terrifying, and sometimes a mix of each. Throughout, Chaney shows how myths of the grizzly bear shape our interactions with them. And how, refracted in that myth, we can also see a story about humans and the tensions between our technological prowess, our hubristic belief in our ability to master the physical environment, and the ever-uncontrollable wonders of the natural world"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 599.78409 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.78409 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.78409 Ch Checked out 05/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.78409 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
