Part of the Core Library (an imprint of ABDO Publishing) series, Back from Near Extinction, Grizzly Bear investigates the complex relationship between the bears and humans and how conservationists are using engineering and technology to restore the grizzly population.

Tammy Gagne provides a clear, engaging, and easy to follow introduction to the Grizzly Bear that looks at the reasons for the population decline, the challenges that the species faces today, and the efforts that are being made to ensure the future of the species. Helpful sidebars and well-chosen images provide a clear look at the subject, including basic facts about the bears (life cycle, habitat, diet, etc.), primary source documents from experts in the field, and critical thinking prompts to encourage deeper understanding of the material. Recommended: A well-researched series that will pair well with science units. ( )
