Book Description
Bears are North America's most complex and controversial predator, both loved and hated for their majesty and power. Will Troyer's introduction to the natural history of Alaska's brown bears is both enchanting and informative, told with the objectivity of a biologist, the resonant voice of an outdoorsman who has spent decades in bear society, and breathtaking photography. Troyer was a pioneer in the study of brown bears. Convinced that scientific research was the only antidote to widespread fear and misinformation about one of Alaska's largest predators, he gathered data with primitive equipment and endured hair-raising adventures. His career spanned dramatic changes in approaches to bear management that ranged from extermination to conservation, a history of human-bear interactions that he recounts with unusual insight and first-hand knowledge. Troyer offers a holistic description of bear biology and behavior, an account of bear-human interactions, and practical advice for viewing and photographing bears. Into Brown Bear Country offers an intimate, realistic view of the lives of Alaska's coastal bears. Entertaining and readable, it will be enjoyed by all readers of nature literature and is an essential starting point for anyone visiting bear country.

Book Description
Ken Starr rightly calls this story a deeply personal one which, however, is less about himself than it is about Baylor University a school whose unusual distinctives he came to deeply appreciate in his six years as the school s president. In this book he lauds those treasured distinctives while also speaking frankly about troubling factors in the university's personality that led to conflicts and crisis in his tenure there, ultimately bringing about his dismissal as president. Despite this seemingly premature closure to his leadership, the author makes clear his abiding loyalty and love for Baylor while bringing into focus broadly urgent concerns about the state of higher education in general in America. Staying sensitive to a purity of purpose in academia, he exalts students and teachers above administrators and boards, and personal relationships and community above more selfish educational outcomes. These pages easily reveal the author's warmth and wisdom while reflecting honestly on Baylor s vast host of accomplishments, as well as its share of disheartening struggles.
