Eight Bears examines the eight species of bears that survive on Earth today, from the familiar polar bear and grizzly to the lesser-known sun bear, spectacled bear and sloth bear, exploring how each species is faring in a world transformed by human activity. Dickie combines vivid field reporting from bear habitats around the world with rigorous scientific journalism to create a comprehensive portrait of these charismatic and endangered animals. The book has been praised for its global scope, its engaging storytelling and its ability to use bears as a lens through which to examine broader issues of conservation and coexistence. Her audiobooks and books offer readers compelling, well-researched nature writing.
