Reviews"Tom Mangelsen is a photographic genius at bringing nature's greatest creatures into our lives--and his work with the magnificent grizzly bears of the American West is a gift for all generations. We have grizzly visitors in Montana--usually a mama and a pair of cubs--and their presence stirs the soul for they are the essence of wild. Tom's photographs and Todd Wilkinson's narrative capture all of that without the need to find an escape route!" --Tom Brokaw " Grizzly  is an unforgettable book--their survival is in our hands."  --Jane Goodall "When fishing by the Oxbow Bend of the Snake River early in the morning, I often see Tom Mangelsen, with his long lens, documenting the life of charismatic Mama Bear 399. She and her cubs have passed through my backyard every fall on their way to pick berries and chokecherries. Their presence turned my walks into memorable adventures. Tom's stunning photographs and Todd Wilkinson's masterful storytelling are now giving the world that same sense of adventure."  --Yvon Chouinard, conservationist, adventurer, and founder of Patagonia, Inc.   "Thanks to Tom Mangelsen's spectacular photography and Todd Wilkinson's gripping text, the number 399 has been transformed from a meaningless integer into the identity of an iconic grizzly who, over her long lifetime in Grand Teton National Park, has thrilled thousands of park visitors, and has proved that these great bears and humans can peacefully coexist." --Paul Johnsgard, Foundation Professor of Biological Sciences Emeritus, University of Nebraska-Lincoln and author of Yellowstone Wildlife: The Ecology and Natural History of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem "No animal speaks to the essence of the still-wild American West more powerfully than the grizzly does. And no book speaks to our archetypal fascination with the Great Bear more movingly than this book. I've known Tom Mangelsen for decades, admire his wizardry with a camera and am grateful to call him a close dear friend. I've also followed Todd Wilkinson's environmental writing for a long time and consider him a friend. Together, they have assembled a remarkable book in images and words about the life and times of a bear family that has no match." --Gerry Spence, legendary American trial lawyer, author, photographer and social commentator

Mangelsen's latest project focuses on a celebrated Yellowstone grizzly bear family, which he has been tracking and photographing for ten years.
