When Canadian artist Maureen Enns set out to focus public attention on the grizzly bear she had no idea she would be embarking on a personal odyssey. Soon she was venturing into the remote backcountry of Alberta's Banff National Park and to the northern coast of British Columbia in search of bears. Terrified at first, she discovered that these powerful animals were intelligent, caring, playful and curious, showing little of the ferocity that makes up popular myth. Grizzly Kingdom is a story of Mauren's struggle to find bears in the wild, and to reveal on canvas and film this majestic symbol of a fragile wilderness. Her artworks and photographs are presented throughout the book.

A photographic journey that redefines perceptions of bears. 
 Charlie Russell and Maureen Enns spent six summers in the remote wilderness of Kamchatka, Russia: home to the world's densest population of brown bears. 
 Grizzly Seasons tells the story of three bear cubs -- Chico, Biscuit and Rosie -- rescued from a zoo and reintroduced to the wild by Russell and Enns. The account traces the bear's development from dependant cubs to independent creatures of the wilderness. 
 Graced with more than 150 beautiful color photographs, including majestic aerial views, Grizzly Seasons closely follows the bears -- and the authors -- through six years of developing a self-sustaining, mutually-respectful relationship of trust.

Established in 1967, the Ghost River Wilderness Area, located along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in southern Alberta, is one of only three provincially designated wilderness areas in the province. As such, it is supposed to have the strictest form of government protection available in Canada, with development, motorized transportation and recreational activities either tightly controlled or altogether forbidden. This has not been the case, however.It is in this beautiful, threatened and geographically remote area that Maureen Enns, a well-known artist, author, educator and conservationist, has come to discover an incredible world inhabited by wild horses, one of the region's most elusive and iconic creatures. Descendants of the original settlers of the area have been known to describe the "wildies" of the Ghost Wilderness as ugly, nondescript, Roman-nosed and useless animals. But such descriptions stand in sharp contrast to some of the athletic and beautiful stallions, mar
