Description

Sam Ives's family set up camp in a Utah campground, cooked dinner, cleaned up and packed their gear away, and climbed into their multi-chambered tent to sleep.

It was a great end to Father's Day. Eleven-year-old Sam crawled into the smaller compartment of the two-room tent.

Without his parents knowing it, Sam ate a granola bar and placed the empty wrapper in a pocket of the tent.

Sometime during the night, a black bear entered the campsite, ripped open the side of the tent where Sam slept, grabbed the boy, and killed him.

His parents heard a noise and got up to have a look around, but were unable to find Sam.

Terrified, they immediately called for help and a search was quickly conducted, where Sam's body was found about 400 yards from the campsite.Unfortunately, Sam's story is not uncommon-every year there are numerous reports of predator attacks on humans, many of them resulting in fatalities.

When Man Becomes Prey examines the details of fatal predator attacks on humans, providing an opportunity to learn about the factors and behaviors that led to attacks.

The predators profiled in the book include black bears, grizzly bears, mountain lions, coyotes, and gray wolves-the first time all five species have been included in one volume .

Compelling narratives of conflicts involving these top predators are accompanied by how-to information for avoiding such clashes.
