Predators at Risk in the Pacific Northwest

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful and insightful!
Review: This little book came to my attention as I was perusing the new books in the university library where I work. I have been reading more and more the books on wild animals in our collection. Most are older but still very interesting. Little by little the myths perpetrated by who knows who are being replaced in my mind with actual research being done on predators and prey. This book brought me up to date on the animals of today and in my area! The Pacific Northwest!

The author shows much enthusiasm for his subjects: cougars, lynx, wolves, coyotes, black and grizzly bears. He shows with a methodical logic that everything has a place in the ecosystem. He doesn't excuse the animals - he helps to explain them! He makes me proud once again to be a member of the two legged species known as man!

He has a wonderful sense of adventure and great advise on how to coexist with the wildlife that I am more and more giving respect and gratitude for the beauty they give to our world! I probably will buy a copy of this book even though our library has a copy - for all the information that it has inside the 134 pages! Great book! It was a joy to read!
