The Polar Bear Catastrophe That Never Happened explains why the catastrophic decline in polar bear numbers we were promised in 2007 failed to materialize. It’s the story of how and why the polar bear came to be considered `Threatened’ with extinction, and tracks the species rise and fall as an icon of the global warming movement.
The book also tells the story of my role in bringing that failure to public attention and the backlash against me that ensued.
For the first time, you’ll see a frank and detailed account of attempts by scientists to conceal population growth as numbers rose from an historical low in the 1960s to the astonishing highs that surely must exist after almost 50 years of protection from overhunting.
There is also a blunt account of what truly abundant populations of bears mean for the millions of people who live and work in areas of the Arctic inhabited by polar bears.
This is a full-length illustrated book that is fully referenced and is available in Paperback and Ebook.

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
Scientist Susan Crockford has spent decades writing professional papers and books but has been blogging about polar bears for non-scientists since 2012. In 2015, she wrote her first novel, a polar bear attack thriller aimed at readers who prefer their science “lite.” EATEN did not disappoint: the common reviewer refrain was, “I couldn’t put it down!” For 2017, she presents the two non-fiction volumes readers around the world have been requesting: straightforward science books about polar bears for adults and children that offer the same no nonsense, big-picture perspective on polar bear conservation that has made her blog and public lectures so popular. Susan is a professional zoologist who has studied the ecological history and evolution of many animals for more than 40 years, and has had a special interest in polar bears for at least half that time. A driving fascination with evolution (including the history of human-animal interactions) compels her to write. She has a Ph.D. and writes about the science of polar bears and related topics at www.polarbearscience.com.

Susan – I just finished reading your novel and loved it. I enjoyed getting a scientist’s perspective on these currents events in the format of a novel.
You were kind to write to me about a year ago when I asked some questions about bears and hiking in Newfoundland along the International Appalachian Trail. I felt vulnerable about my late May start after reading reports of sporadic attacks in northern NL. I did go, was cautious, and carried 2 cans of bear spray until there was no sign of any ice offshore. I was not eaten! Will always appreciate your help.
PS – There was no mention of bear spray in the novel.. I wonder if I had a false sense of security!
Thanks Diane – I’m so glad to hear you were not eaten! But that’s the point of the novel, at some level. In early March, who would expect bears onshore when they should be out eating seals? As the entire population was taken by surprise by the attacks, it’s likely no one thought about bear spray until it was too late or the crisis was more or less over.
