At a time of climate crisis and environmental emergency, when the flaws in our relationship with nature now clearly threaten our very existence, this book is a must-read.
For generations, grizzly bears have inspired both awe and fear. Yet one man, Charlie Russell, devoted his life to challenging that perception. A naturalist who spent more than seventy years living side by side with bears in North America and Russia, Russell built an extraordinary bond with these animals. He reared and released ten orphaned cubs in the wilds of Kamchatka, and even spent seven years helping to raise the young of a wild female grizzly.
In Talking with Bears, G. A. Bradshaw draws on a decade of collaboration with Russell to explore his deep understanding of nature and his belief that true coexistence with the wild is the key to our shared survival.

From Freemasonry to fetishism, Wicca to espionage, each story exposes a different side of what it means to live with something hidden.
Are women simply better at keeping secrets, or are they forced to be by fear, stigma or survival itself? This book peels back the layers to reveal what secrecy costs, and what it protects.
