Bears feeding on clams bears feeding on a dead whale carcass, bears feeding on salmon - bears feeding on each other! Finally a book about how the coastal grizzlies of Kodiak and the Alaska Peninsula really live. Humorous, endearing, and poignantly tragic, Ted Gerken deftly examines how Alaska's precious wildlife reacts to the increasing presence of humans. Seen through the eyes of the callously indifferent and the deeply concerned, Nightmare of Dream Creek is a fascinating look at the current plight of the Alaskan bear.
