  The Blue Bear: A True Story of Friendship, Tragedy, and Survival in the Alaskan Wilderness The Blue Bear is a haunting memoir about the search for one of the world's most elusive animals, the friendship that was forged, and the terrible tragedy that ensued.

With his body twisted by adolescent scoliosis and his memory scarred by the brutal death of a woman he loved, Lynn Schooler kept the world at arm's length, drifting through the wilds of Alaska as a commercial fisherman, outdoorsman and wilderness guide. In 1990 Schooler met Japanese photographer Michio Hoshino and the two began a quest to find the elusive glacier bear, a rare creature, seldom seen and shrouded in legend. It was only after Hoshino's tragic death from a bear attack that Schooler succeeded in photographing the glacier bear – and only then was he able to complete the journey and find new meaning in his own life.
