On Michel Pastoureau, 'The Bear'

If environmental histories about furry predators are your thing, you should look at "Vicious: Wolves and Men in America" (link). It's about how wolf lore from Old Europe entered American culture and was eventually exploited by ranchers to exterminate them. Bonus fact: there has never been a recorded killing of a person by a wolf in North America.
