The narrative chronicles Barrie Gilbert's intense passion for grizzly bears, which nearly cost him his life in Yellowstone National Park. Following his recovery, he dedicated decades to studying and advocating for these misunderstood creatures across various national parks. His extensive research emphasizes the interactions between bears and humans, aiming to enhance safety for both species. Gilbert's work is enriched by his experiences in iconic locations like Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Katmai National Park, where he observes the bears' behavior, particularly during salmon runs.
