When Bears Attack by Joseph B. Healy

I've mentioned the wonderful books "Bear in the Backseat" and "Bear in the Backseat II" here before.  Those are great books written by a former Great Smoky Mountains National Park Ranger.

Well, I found" When Bears Attack: Close Encounters of the Terrifying Kind" edited by Joseph B. Healy recently, and I thought it might be as interesting as the Bear in the Backseat books.

There are various bear related stories by a number of different authors in this book.  Frankly, some of the stories are better than others, but I still enjoyed the book overall.

Some of the stories are a bit stiff too....  not to knock them....  but a few aren't as accessible as the tales from the Great Smoky Mountains.

Still, this is an interesting book.....  and you can skip a few chapters after reading a page or two if you want.  The other chapters will still be worth reading.

AND, I appreciated the completeness of the book.  Some of the stories are old, and the chapters come from diverse areas.
