This is a non-fiction book about Black Bears from a wonderful animal series that is packed full of facts about habitat, diet, behavior, appearance, predators, characteristics, mating habits and raising the young.  Environmental and human hazards are also explored.  There is a habitat map as well as an index, glossary and page for further resources.  These books are well-written and full of beautiful and high quality color photographs of bears in their natural habitat.  I highly recommend this book.
