About This Book

A series of nature sketches and short narratives that portray individual animals and their lives amid human-altered landscapes. Episodes include the chronicle of a sickly, pampered bear cub and his protective mother who frequent a park garbage site; the story of a coyote pup taken from its den and raised amid rough human hands; and concise pieces on birds and other hunted species. Vivid naturalist observation traces behavior, instincts, learning, and the effects of protection, persecution, and proximity to people.
