How does a street punk with no background in biology or wildlife science become a best known grizzly-bear celebrity? In the early 1990s, Malibu waiter Timothy Treadwell went to Alaska to lose himself among the giant bears of Katmai National Park & becamelegendary for his commitment to their protection & his seemingly uncanny ability to live safely among them. Despite repeated warnings by experts that his behavior was dangerous, Treadwell moved ever closer to the bears he loved, and in October 2003,along with his girlfriend Amy Huguenard, was killed by bears he'd sworn to protect. Tragically, the animals themselves were destroyed by the crew sent in to either rescue them or retrieve their bodies when the two failed to meet a float plane at aprearranged time. This book chronicles the meteoric rise of Treadwell from self-described alcoholic loser to guest on Late Night with Letterman, & author of a book on his experiences with Alaskan grizzlies, and reveals the costs of the current craze forwildlife celebrity
