520    Do bear attacks touch people in the far-back recesses of 
       their psyches? Reach latent ancestral memories of cave 
       days when humans were potential prey? Indeed, there are 
       those who say their nightmares involved bears before they 
       ever saw one, either in the flesh or in the movies. 
       Unfortunately, these nightmares all too often come true. 
       People perform almost superhuman feats in their fight to 
       survive bear attacks. Jim Marriott, for instance, was 
       attacked and mauled by a grizzly while carving out a moose
       head. When playing dead didn't work, he slammed his 
       skinning knife into the attacker's neck. The surprised 
       bear backed off only to charge again, cut his tongue 
       trying to bite at the knife, and got the knife sunk into 
       the same place. By the third charge, Marriott was on his 
       feet despite chewed buttocks and damaged legs. This time 
       the bear left with the knife still sticking in his neck. 
       In bear attacks, the human survival instinct is 
       extraordinary, says a doctor who sees the terrible 
       punishment victims of bear attacks live through. And 
       equally amazing are the heroics and seemingly superhuman 
       efforts of those around the victims. BEAR ATTACKS OF THE 
       CENTURY gathers together these stories of courage, 
       chronicling the most horrific encounters between bears and
       people. With expert advice on avoiding attacks and 
       information that may help both species leave an encounter 
       unscathed, this book is required reading for hikers, 
       hunters, campers, or anyone visiting bear country, and 
       those who want to learn more about these sometimes deadly 
       but always fascinating animals.
