Synopsis

Deep in the green forest of Bitterland, Professor Medo Onestone teaches his brown bear cub students the art of survival and science of existence. He teaches about ozone holes, climate change, poaching, and most of all humans, who are responsible for the other problems. Professor Onestone is a sad bear. He misses his beloved wife who was killed by poachers for her pelt. His mother was also killed and his youngest brother was captured for the zoo. When Professor Onestone visits him there, he finds that living in a cage has given his brother an unexpected outlook on life and liberty. Teaching about climate change convinces the good professor that he must take action. He and his prize student, Wince, along with Wince's beautiful mother, set out for the Big City with three stones engraved with declarations and codes. The stones will change the way that humans and bears interact and puts humans on track for a better planet. A sellout in Macedonia, Professor Onestone's Brown Bear University has entertained and informed children there since it was first published in 1999 under the title, Profesorot Ednokamchev.
