A definitive look at mans conflicted relationship with bears, this is the story of Timothy Treadwells obsession with Alaska, his foolhardy quest to understand Alaskan brown bears, and his violent death in their jaws. nWith a new introduction on Werner Herzogs film entitled The Grizzly Man nTimothy Treadwell, self-styled bear whisperer dared to live among the grizzlies, seeking to overturn the perception of them as dangerously aggressive animals. When he and his girlfriend were mauled, it created a media sensation.n nIn The Grizzly Maze, Nick Jans, a seasoned outdoor writer with a quarter century of experience writing about Alaska and bears, traces Treadwells rise from unknown waiter in California to celebrity, providing a moving portrait of the man whose controversial ideas and behavior earned him the scorn of hunters, the adoration of animal lovers and the skepticism of naturalists. n nIntensely imagistic, artfully controlled prose . . . behind the building tension of Treadwells path to oblivion, a stunning landscape looms.--Newsdayn
