Description:
River guide and author Craig Childs has a weakness for encountering animals on their home turf--and the bigger and fiercer the animal, it seems, the better. Mixed with his notes on these encounters are some first-rate biological descriptions of elements such as the flight feathers of a bald eagle or the wool of a mountain goat. Childs offers the reader exact, thoughtful descriptions of wild places and the animals that inhabit them. He examines the fecundity of coyotes and salmon, the terrible determination of mosquitoes, the play of the senses, and the ways of mountain lions and grizzly bears. Animal lovers everywhere will want this remarkable book close at hand.
