David spent three years photographing all eight bear species in the wild and in bears’ sanctuaries around the world. The vivid photos are surrounded with ample scientific information obtained from hundreds of research papers, as well as from David’s personal observation. David believes that knowledge and love are the two most important tools that can help save these intelligent bears from extinction. He framed Bear-Pedia by combining vivid-action filled photographs with a wealth of encyclopedia level knowledge. This book is written for the benefit of the bears; the target audience is anyone ages 12—120 who loves animals, particularly bears.
