(Inside
the Book Jacket) In the tradition of Jon Krakauer's Into the
Wild and Peter Jenkin's Looking for Alaska, a riveting adventure story of
one man's passion to understand and protect the grizzly bear - and his
last foolhardy, violent encounter with one
 Ursus arctos horribilis, commonly known as the grizzly or brown bear, is
on e of the most feared animals on the planet. As its most outspoken
protector, Timothy Treadwell tirelessly sought to overturn the perception
of grizzlies as dangerously aggressive. It was therefore a media sensation
when in October 2003 Treadwell and his girlfriend were fatally mauled by a
bear in Alaska's Katmai National Park, the first such attack in the park
in eighty-five years. The horrifying audiotape of Treadwell's final,
frantic screams begged the question: How could this happen?
 In
the Grizzly Maze, Nick Jans, who for years has written
expertly and lyrically about the Alaskan wilderness, ventures to answer
this question. Based on exclusive access to the killing site and his own
and others' expert knowledge of Alaskan bears, Jans plots out Treadwell's
final expedition and encounter with the grizzly. In doing so, Jans
provides a moving and complex portrait of the man known as the "Bear
Whisperer," whose controversial ideas earned him the scorn of hunters, the
adoration of some animal lovers, and the skepticism of naturalists. The
Grizzly Maze also offers a definitive, close-up look at bears,
bear behavior, and our complicated relationship with them
