Produktbeschreibung

A "beautifully written" tribute to this tenacious and much-misunderstood creature of the wild (Bill McKibben). When Catherine Reid returned to the Berkshires to live after decades away, she became fascinated by another recent arrival: the eastern coyote. This species, which shares some lineage with the wolf, exhibits remarkable adaptability and awe-inspiring survival skills. In fact, coyotes have been spotted in nearly every habitable area available-including urban streets, New York's Central Park, and suburban backyards. Settling into an old farmhouse with her partner, Reid felt compelled to learn more about this outlaw animal. Her beautifully grounded memoir interweaves personal and natural history to comment on one of the most dramatic wildlife stories of our time. With great appreciation for this scrappy outsider and the ecological concerns its presence brings to light, Reid suggests that we all need to forge a new relationship with this uncannily intelligent species in our midst. "More than a book about nature . . . a narrative about home and family, and about human attitudes toward the wild and unfamiliar." -The Boston Globe "A captivating read, worthy of joining the pantheon of literary ecological writing." -Booklist "Enlightening . . . a heartfelt, often poetic case for coexistence between humans and the wild." -Publishers Weekly
