About This Item

New York: Dutton Adult, 2005. First printing. Hardback. Very Good +/very good +. 274 p., incl. bibliography and index. Several pages of B & W photos. The story of Tim Treadwell, whose love for and fascination with Alaskan grizzlies led him to the fatal misjudgement that cost him and his friend Amie Hueguenard their lives. Excellent research and writing bring the story to life and reveals the tragedy of a man who loved bears too much to see them clearly.

Synopsis

With a new introduction on Werner Herzog’s film entitled  The Grizzly Man Timothy Treadwell, self-styled “bear whisperer” dared to live among the grizzlies, seeking to overturn the perception of them as dangerously aggressive animals. When he and his girlfriend were mauled in October 2003, it created a media sensation. In  The Grizzly Maze , Nick Jans, a seasoned outdoor writer with a quarter century of experience writing about Alaska and bears, traces Treadwell’s rise from unknown waiter in California to celebrity, providing a moving portrait of the man whose controversial ideas and behavior earned him the scorn of hunters, the adoration of animal lovers and the skepticism of naturalists. BACKCOVER: “Intensely imagistic, artfully controlled prose . . . behind the building tension of Treadwell’s path to oblivion, a stunning landscape looms.” —Newsday
