The title of this post may seem a little misleading but actually it isn't.

A little while ago, I posted a link to getting a free book about the author surviving a Bear attack in Alaska. The book was offered free for one weekend.

This same gentleman is now offering a book called A Photographic Tour of Kodiak Alaska. This book also will be offered free just for this weekend (19th and 20th of May). A sample of some of the images, show some nice wildlife images in relatively high quality.

Navi,
I believe you are talking about Timothy Treadwell. To put it politely, he was a bit different. He had many run-ins with the Park Rangers for refusing to follow park rules and being cited for stuff like illegal generators, etc.
Included among these violations are: guiding tourists without a license, camping in the same area longer than the Parks Service's seven-day limit, improper food storage, wildlife harassment, and conflicts with visitors and their guides. He also frustrated authorities by refusing to install an electric fence around his camp and refusing to carry bear spray to use as a deterrent. In fact, Treadwell had carried pepper spray with him and had resorted to using it at least one time, but wrote that he had felt terrible grief over the pain he perceived he had caused the bear and refused to use it on subsequent occasions.
The park that Timothy used was located on the Alaska Peninsula, across from Kodiak Island.
In the 85-year history of Katmai National Park, this was the first known incident of a person being killed by a bear
