	Award-winning journalist and senior editor of Montana Quarterly, Livingston author Scott McMillion will read from his bestselling book, Mark of the Grizzly. In the thirteen years since Mark of the Grizzley originally appeared, DNA science has revolutionized how people study bears. This new edition includes a thorough update of existing material and new or expanded chapters. A must-have for wildlife enthusiasts of all types.

	Mark of the Grizzly, 2nd: Revised and Updated with More Stories of Recent Bear Attacks and the Hard Lessons Learned (Paperback) By Scott McMillion $16.95 ISBN-13: 9780762773251 Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Lyons Press, 11/2011 “Mark of the Grizzly” immediately became a regional bestseller upon its release in 1998 and was described by reviewers as “an instant classic.” That description made me a little nervous at the time, but I’m proud to say the book is now in its 13th printing. [UPDATE: The book has just been released in a second revised and updated edition with new chapters, a new introduction, and an index.] “Mark of the Grizzly” outlines what can happen when people run into grizzlies on the bear’s turf, which can happen in lots of places scattered from Yellowstone National Park to Alaska. But the book also examines why encounters happen and the aftermath for the survivors, plus it outlines how to behave in grizzly country to keep both humans and the great bears alive. When I set out to write the book, I wanted to avoid demonizing grizzlies, creatures that have been eliminated from most of their native turf. I admire and respect bears, mostly because traveling among them forces us to open our eyes, our ears and our minds. In a world where our cars tell us when to turn and our cell phones remember all our numbers for us, few things can make you pay close attention like the prospect of a grizzly bear just over the rise. And if you’re paying attention, you’re learning something, even if you never see a bear. But I admire and respect people, too, and I firmly believe that both man and bear can inhabit the same places, but only if people learn a few simple tools and perhaps alter a few old habits. We’ve taken so much from the bear. Now it’s time to give something back. I think it’s worth it. Scott McMillion Visit Scott McMillion's Website HERE
