Grizzly Chronicles is a book of stories friendly to grizzly bears and about James Sirois' personal bear encounters while engaged in wildlife photography, plus data from a 1982-1986 grizzly bear research project in the Kimsquit Valley.
All photos of the named bears featured in the stories were taken in or near his backyard at Kimsquit on the Dean River, British Columbia.
Praise for Grizzly Chronicles
Thomas McNamee
Former president of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition and author of:
"James Sirois’ observations of bears are up-close, personal, and clear-eyed. Without sentimentality, but also without anthropomorphism, he brings them alive as individual emotional, unpredictable, charming, humorous, and, once in a while, truly terrifying. Both the splendid photographs and his prose place the reader vividly in the midst of bear country and the bears themselves.”
Terry D. DeBruyn, PhD, author of Walking with Bears
“The images alone make this book a compelling addition for anyone’s library, but with James Sirois’ vivid personal descriptions of how-to and how-not-to behave around brown bears intermingled, Grizzly Chronicles becomes a must-have addition for those of us who care about bears and how to get along with them.”
