Description
Book SynopsisFrom Yellowstone's elk and wolves to rhinos living with African lions and moose coexisting with tigers and bears in Asia, this book tracks cultures of fear in animals across continents and climates, engaging readers with a stimulating combination of natural history, personal experience, and conservation.
Trade Review"A very novel, important, and global view of the complex interrelationships between predators and prey. Science, culture, and practical issues meet head on, as they must, in a book that surely will change existing views about the role of fear in the evolution of behavior. Only world-renowned and indefatigable field biologist Joel Berger could pull off such a comprehensive analysis of how past and present must be studied as we try to figure out how all animals - nonhuman and human - will be able to share harmoniously our one and only planet in the future." - Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals"
