Lady & the Panda: The True Adventures of the First American Explorer
to Bring Back China's Most Exotic Animal
by: Croke, Vicki Constantine
Here is the astonishing true story of Ruth Harkness, the Manhattan bohemian
socialite who, against all but impossible odds, trekked to Tibet in 1936
to capture the most mysterious animal of the day: a bear that had for
countless centuries lived in secret in the labyrinth of lonely cold mountains.
In The Lady and the Panda, Vicki Constantine Croke gives us the remarkable
account of Ruth Harkness and her extraordinary journey. Traveling across
some of the toughest terrain in the world?nearly impenetrable bamboo forests,
slick and perilous mountain slopes, and boulder-strewn passages?the team
raced against a traitorous rival, and was constantly threatened by hordes
of bandits and hostile natives. The voyage took months to complete and
cost Ruth everything she had. But when, almost miraculously, she returned
from her journey with a baby panda named Su Lin in her arms, the story
became an international sensation and made the front pages of newspapers
around the world. No animal in history had gotten such attention. And
Ruth Harkness became a hero. 372 pgs.

Walking with Bears: One Man's Relationship with Three Generations
of Wild Bears
by: Debruyn, Terry D.
Some people prefer to walk in the woods alone. Terry DeBruyn walks with
bears. Set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this is the account of an extraordinary
human-ursine story. Biologist DeBruyn believes that the only way to protect
wild species is to determine precisely what they do all day. To find out,
DeBruyn pioneered a G.P.S. monitoring stystem for radio-collared bears,
but he soon realized the only way to truly understand the animal is to
enter her world. Not so easy when the subject is a 250-pound North American
black bear with cubs. Black bears are enormously powerful animals, though
very shy of humans. So, first, DeBruyn must convince an individual bear
to stick around long enough to learn she has nothing to fear. When he
finally accomplishes this, the rewards are immense. Carmen and her daughter
Netti, and later, Netti's daughter June are ambassadors who grant us a
glimpse into bear life. DeBruyn is their interpreter. He is a priviledged
guest, watching intimate family scenes: nursing, grooming, and wrestling
amond den mates. He learns as much about he moods and emotional life of
bears as about their dietary requirements. Walking wtih Bears is an endearing
tale of interspecies friendship. It will forever change the way we view
one of the most fascinating and feared of all wild animals. Color photo
insert. 248 pgs
