About this Item

" Bears: Tracks through Time is an eclectic look at our relationship with these beautiful and sometimes frightful creatures with which we co-exist in the Canadian Rockies. As a result of our close cohabitation with bears, the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies has accumulated a modest collection of art, artifacts, and archival materials related to bears. This book features images and stories from the collection. The postcards sent to us from the past provide a compelling glimpse into our changing views of bears. This is neither an exhibition catalog nor an exhaustive study of bears, but rather an assortment of bear tales and the people, images, and artifacts related to those stories." About the Author: "Michale Lang is Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies. Until 2007, she was Vice-President of Access, Collections, and Exhibits at the Glenbow Museum, during which time she managed the development of Glenbow's 24,000-square-foot permanent exhibit called "Mavericks: An Incorrigible History of Alberta." Michale has written extensively for exhibitions and professional journals.".
