More than a wildlife story, this thoughtfully constructedcelebration of the grizzly bear features the work of Irishphotographer Dave Campbell in a skillfully realizedjourney around one of the last surviving tracts oftemperate rainforest on Earth: Knight Inlet, BritishColumbia. Traveling between spring and summer overan eight-year period, Campbell captured this threat-ened landscape in photographs, championing one ofthe few safe havens of the raincoast grizzly bear bysimply documenting the world in which these magnifi-cent animals live. Moving gradually from the skies overthe inlet to the depths of the forest, with scenery, plantlife, and other animals of the Canadian wildernessthroughout, the narrative comes face to face with thegrizzlies in their natural state, not as the aggressors ofpopular imagination, but as gentle creaturestheplayful bear, the fisher bear, and the family bear.
