Healers of the Wild: People Who Care for Injured and Orphaned Wildlife

Rating:
Summary: This is the book I have been looking for!
Review: As a volunteer wildlife rehabilitator who is very interested in education, I have been looking for the excellent educational book that both describes wildlife rehab and more importantly tells how to prevent the need for it. I had almost given up and started working on my own material when I found this book. It's wonderful! It has a wonderfully balanced perspective and should be fascinating reading at all ages. The pictures are excellent, showing both the uplifting and depressing sides of rehab. And very important, it describes a wide range of species in rehab in the US, from marine mammals to reptiles, and many of the facilities that care for them. Wildlife rehab is not a hobby to be taken lightly, the animals aren't pets, and this book does a brilliant job of teaching that.

Summary: A copy should be in every school and public library
Review: I can't say much more than the previous reviewers, except that I whole heartedly agree with them. This is such an excellent book, that everyone can learn something from. I am a wildlife rehabilitator, and I would personally like to thank Shannon Jacobs for writing such an informative and thorough book on the purpose and process of wildlife rehabilitation.

Summary: Geat book for kids and adults who care about all animals.
Review: Shannon Jacobs shows her care and concern from the littlest creature to the biggest beast that suffers from the neverending battle between humankind and the animal kingdom. This book is a wonderful way to educate kids and grownups on what to do in a situation of finding hurt or orphaned wildlife, which is something that everyone comes into contact with at least once in their life. I am inspired to do whatever I can to help the cause, and Shannon's book is a BIG step in helping.
