Author Charlie Russell has written several books about bears, including his most recent, called "Grizzly Heart," about his experiences living with brown bears in the Kamchatka Peninsula. His approach to bears is markedly different from the norm; he believes treating bears with respect and friendship is better than the atmosphere of fear and wariness usually put forward. Check out the pictures. (unfortunately, the gallery doesn't include one in the newspaper article I saw this in - the author sitting on a riverside, next to a comfortable-looking reclining wild female grizzly.)
