Black bears and grizzly bears are powerful predators that can inflict serious injuries or even death on humans. In recent years, there have been several high-profile bear attacks in North America, highlighting the importance of bear safety and awareness.

The book "Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance" is a comprehensive guide to bear safety. The book was originally published in 1996 and has been revised and updated several times since then. The latest edition includes new stories of recent bear attacks and the hard lessons learned from them.

The book is written by Stephen Herrero, a world-renowned expert on bear behavior. Herrero has spent decades studying bears and has developed a deep understanding of their behavior and ecology. In the book, Herrero shares his knowledge and experience to help readers avoid bear encounters and stay safe in bear country.

Bears are attracted to food, garbage, and other human-related items. Always store food and garbage properly in bear-resistant containers.
Bears are most active at dawn and dusk. Be aware of your surroundings and make noise when hiking or camping in bear country.
If you encounter a bear, stay calm and do not run. Slowly back away from the bear while facing it. Do not turn your back on a bear.
If a bear charges you, fight back with everything you have. Aim for the bear's eyes, nose, and mouth.
