Trade paperback. Etat : Good. From the Foreword?The Grizzly Bear by William H. Wright, first published in 1909, is one of the best all-around books ever written on the subject. It is both highly informative and entertaining. . . . Wright began as a bear-hunter, and an extraordinarily successful one. He pitted his own strength, endurance, ingenuity, skill, knowledge, and craftiness against that of the grizzlies. . . . His most remarkable achievement as a hunter was killing five grizzlies with five shots, which he called "the greatest bag of grizzlies that I have ever made single-handed." . . . His book shows a hunter becoming a naturalist: Wright first studied the grizzly in order to hunt him, then he came to hunt him in order to study him.

FROM THE FORWORD: As a concrete step toward the actual communal celebration of the two major Hours, Morning Praise and Evensong proposes to be: 1. a simplified, uncluttered, rubricated edition of Lauds and Vespers for common use; 2. a musical edition of the chief Hours which will strongly promote the fully sung Office and especially the restoration of a variety of psalmodic styles; 3. an incentive to the regular, fully ritualized celebration of the Hours by the many emerging Christian communities, lay, clerical and religious, which are springing up everywhere and searching for authentic, Catholic prayer forms.
