The Story of the Town Bear and the Forest Bear by Ernestine Hayes Pdf
Forest Bear is happy living in the woods until one day his relative comes to visit. After a long day of looking for roots, berries, and fish, the bears are still hungry. When Town Bear tells Forest Bear about the food waiting for them in special cans in town, Forest Bear leaves the forest and travels back to town with his relative. But Forest Bear soon finds out that meals in town come at an unexpected price. A uniquely Alaskan work, The Story of the Town Bear and the Forest Bear tells a timeless tale of the dangers of giving up something we love for the promise of an easy life.
Long ago we invited bears into our stories, our dreams, our nightmares, our lives. We have always sought them out where they live, for their hides, their meat, their beauty, their knowingness. Human country and bear country exist side by side. As Sherry Simpson suggests, the relationship between bears and humans is ancient and ongoing and, in Alaska, profoundly and often uncomfortably close. A huge number of North America’s bears live in Alaska: including at least 31,000 brown bears, 100,000 black bears, and 3,500 polar bears. And nearly every aspect of Alaskan society reflects their presence, from hunting to tourism marketing to wildlife management to urban planning. A long-time Alaskan, Simpson offers a series of compelling essays on Alaskan bears in both wild and urban spaces—because in Alaska, bears are found not only in their natural habitat but also in cities and towns. Combining field research, interviews, and a host of up-to-date scientific sources, her finely polished prose conveys a wealth of information and insight on ursine biology, behavior, feeding, mating, social structure, and much more. Simpson crisscrosses the Alaskan landscape in pursuit of bears as she muses, marvels, and often stands in sheer awe before these charismatic creatures. Firmly grounded in the expertise of wildlife biologists, hunters, and viewing guides, she shows bears as they actually are, not as we imagine them to be. She considers not only the occasionally aggressive behavior bears need to survive, but also the violence exacted upon them by trophy hunters, advocates of predator control, or suburbanites who view bears as land sharks that threaten the safety of their families. Shifting effortlessly between fascinating facts and poetic imagery, Simpson crafts an extended meditation on why we are so drawn to bears and why they continue to engage our imaginations, populate indigenous mythologies, and help define our essential visions of wilderness. As Simpson observes, “The slightest evidence that bears share your world—or that you share theirs—can alter not only your sense of the landscape, but your sense of yourself within that landscape.”

From National Book Award in Fiction finalist Andrew Krivak comes a gorgeous fable of Earth’s last two human inhabitants, and a girl’s journey home In an Edenic future, a girl and her father live close to the land in the shadow of a lone mountain. They possess a few remnants of civilization: some books, a pane of glass, a set of flint and steel, a comb. The father teaches the girl how to fish and hunt, the secrets of the seasons and the stars. He is preparing her for an adulthood in harmony with nature, for they are the last of humankind. But when the girl finds herself alone in an unknown landscape, it is a bear that will lead her back home through a vast wilderness that offers the greatest lessons of all, if she can only learn to listen. A cautionary tale of human fragility, of love and loss, The Bear is a stunning tribute to the beauty of nature’s dominion. Andrew Krivak is the author of two previous novels: The Signal Flame, a Chautauqua Prize finalist, and The Sojourn, a National Book Award finalist and winner of both the Chautauqua Prize and Dayton Literary Peace Prize. He lives with his wife and three children in Somerville, Massachusetts, and Jaffrey, New Hampshire, in the shadow of Mount Monadnock, which inspired much of the landscape in The Bear.

After the yearling with a gentle soul wanders dangerously close to several homes atop a high, rocky bluff, he suddenly tumbles into a predicament with an unexpected outcome that inspires many in the town and around the world. The Town Bear shares the true story of a young bear who accidently wanders into a rural town and finds himself in an unusual predicament.

A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling Pdf
A tiny American town's plans for radical self-government overlooked one hairy detail: no one told the bears. Once upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched the Free Town Project, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, they set their sights on Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road. When they descended on Grafton, public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws became meek suggestions, scarcely heard in the town's thick wilderness. The anything-goes atmosphere soon caught the attention of Grafton's neighbors: the bears. Freedom-loving citizens ignored hunting laws and regulations on food disposal. They built a tent city in an effort to get off the grid. The bears smelled food and opportunity. A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear is the sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying tale of what happens when a government disappears into the woods. Complete with gunplay, adventure, and backstabbing politicians, this is the ultimate story of a quintessential American experiment -- to live free or die, perhaps from a bear.

As we travel through the fictional world of Blue Bear and the adorable bear population, we might reminisce of our own journey through life, remember feeling the many splendors of love, the learning from challenges and mistakes, the healing from pain, the God-given strength to face loss and sorrow, the forgetting and forgiving of those who deeply hurt us. Or Blue Bear might even lead us to decide to modify the map for the rest of our journey. The miracle of life, treasured from the moment we receive our souls, breathe our first breath, cry at being welcomed to the world with a cruel spank, until the time when our search to discover and learn ends, the same way we chose to live. As puppies and kittens and cubs do, we see the miracle of life in the animal world as in our world, when it emerges out of a womb, crawls, takes baby steps, swinging from side to side, giggling at the first run without a fall, to then become a unique member of mankind or of the animal kingdom. And although we would have hurt if we fell, it didnaEUR(tm)t stop us from trying to stand up and walk again, realizing that falls and errors are learning moments. What happens in Blue BearaEUR(tm)s world let us see that we have a tomorrow to live for if we accept that we are exactly in the path we chose to travel, accompanied or alone, that we are never lonely if we believe the words of the One who promised to never leave us or forsake us, to be with us to the end of time. Blue Bear believes it; its author believes it. Welcome to Honey Sweet City, bear population of six hundred.
Our greatest battle is the war within us. A land of paradise, a world of wonder, buried deep in the enchanted forest, nestled at the foothills of the mountains, a dream came true. A vision his grandfather had for quite some time of such a beautiful and bountiful place, one to call home. This is a story of family and friends that shared the sweetness of love and touched the hard core of survival. As a cub, Little Guh experienced fun and adventure as well as growing pains. He was stricken with hardship at a young age that placed him in a dismal state of mind, with his biggest challenge yet to come. He now had a critical choice to make, one that would impact everyone around him. Life lessons taught him well to love and hope, whether he understood or not; to be kind; to press on and persevere against the odds; turn weakness to strength; and search to find the things that make a difference. He learned in its truest form that life stood still for no one. Little Guh found what mattered most was to face his fears. To overcome and conquer and answer the calling was the difference in life or death. He found that not all things were taught, but some things would come as a gift from deep inside. The truth in his heart would set him free and strengthen his love for family, friends, and home. It is best expressed in his grandfather's words: "the roar of a bear is the roar of truth," A season of love will last forever. Love Bears All
