Reseña del editor:
Mark of the Bear is a remarkable collection of ten original and previously published essays by leading American nature writers. Edited by Paul Schullery, it is a tribute to the spirit and romantic image of this American icon through stories of adventure and discovery. Filled with spectacular full-color photography by some of the nation's best nature and wildlife photographers, Mark of the Bear provides a unique personal encounter with these living legends.
