Mr. Searles knew that his work would involve managing people more than bears. Human beings and black bears can coexist, he maintains. It all makes for a strenuous life, a rollicking memoir, and a fulsome sense of gratitude., This book is far more than a California story. As bears sometimes cut a path lager than they appear, so are the implications in this simple yet important narrative.

Synopsis
The incredible story of how one man went from a hired hunter to becoming one of America's top champions for this iconic animal. **A Los Angeles Times and USA Today Bestseller** In this wondrous and eye-opening exploration, Steve Searles, the renowned and respected "Bear Whisperer" of Mammoth Lakes, takes the reader on a journey into the lives of these remarkable creatures and the world we share. In the late 1990s, the town of Mammoth Lakes, California hired Steve Searles as a hunter to cull half its troublesome bear population. But as he began to prepare for the grim task, the bears soon won him over, and Searles realized there had to be a better way. He soon developed non-lethal tactics to control their behavior and overpopulation that heralded a landmark moment in the care and handling of the American black bear. But change was not without its challenges. To some, his success was dismissed due to his lack of formal academic training. Yet Searles never wavered in his commitment, and eventually became not just local folk hero but a nationally recognized expert. This high school dropout saved not just the bears, but, in many ways, his community. In a tradition that runs from John Muir to Bear Grylls, Searles finds a fellowship with nature and a deeper meaning in the world of bears. Do bears understand things we don't? Are they dialed in to some greater natural force? Unlike us, bears waste little time on unreasonable fears. Bears are fully in the moment. They have an inner peace that seems to offset their power and strength. That may explain why no other animal on the planet is as revered as the bear. As Searles shares his remarkable knowledge and we become immersed in the ursine world, you'll never look at bears or nature the same way again. Warm and poignant, and perfect for anyone who has been fascinated by the natural world, What the Bears Know shows that wisdom and fulfillment can come from unexpected places., The incredible story of how one man went from a hired hunter to becoming one of America's top champions for this iconic animal. **A Los Angeles Times and USA Today Bestseller**

    Seller shipped out the DVDS of the TV series THE LOVE BOAT season two volume two really fast and it arrived earlier than listed to and well wrapped up for the trip by mail. The dvd set showed up in good condition just as they described it to be. The price was great and the seller did everything needed to make it a perfect seller and buy. Would buy again from them.

    I purchased this book at a very reasonable price, with more than reasonable international shipping costs. The image of the book for sale was purely indicative, but I nevertheless received it in the condition described (i.e., very good, with some reasonable signs of use). It was packaged reasonably well and shipped promptly. I have no complaints. I will purchase again if the opportunity arises. Thank you
