'The quality of the information and the general conciseness of the text make this long overdue book a thoroughly enjoyable read ... Bears of the World fills a much needed niche in providing an expert overview of accurate, relevant, up-to-date, and highly readable information. As the only complete reference work on this subject, its value is immense for professionals in the field of bear ecology and management, and for interested naturalists and conservationists.' Jean-Pierre d'Huart, The Journal of Wildlife Management
