Grizzly Heart: Living Without Fear Among the Brown Bears of Kamchatka: To many people, grizzlies are symbols of power and ferocity – creatures to be feared and, too often, killed. But Charlie Russell, who has had a forty-year relationship with bears, holds the controversial belief that it is possible to live with and truly understand bears in the wild. For the past six years, Russell and his partner, artist and photographer Maureen Enns, have spent summers on the rugged and glorious Kamchatka Peninsula on the northeast coast of Russia, home to the densest population of brown bears in the world.

Grizzly Heart is the remarkable account of how Russell and Enns have defied the preconceptions of wildlife officials and the general public by living unthreatened – and respected – among the grizzlies of Kamchatka. At the core is the story of the couple's adoption of three bear cubs left orphaned when their mother was killed by a hunter, and how they've helped teach these cubs to survive in the wild. The result is a book that proves tender, funny, thrilling, passionate and dramatic. Along the way Russell and Enns must battle fierce Siberian weather – and the even more unpredictable Russian bureaucracy.

Through a combination of careful study and personal dedication, Russell and Enns are forcing people to reconsider the age-old image of the grizzly bear as a ferocious man-eater and perpetual threat. Their project demonstrates that it is possible to forge a respectful relationship with these majestic giants, and provides compelling reasons for altering our ideas about bears.
