Description
In this compelling work of natural history and travel writing, David Quammen journeys to remote landscapes where humans and apex predators—among them lions, tigers, crocodiles, and other formidable hunters—share an increasingly contested world. He examines the ecological importance of native predators, the traditions and fears surrounding them, and the complex relationships between wildlife and the people who live alongside it. Blending vivid field reporting with scientific insight and cultural reflection, the book asks what the disappearance of these creatures would mean for ecosystems—and for the human fascination with the wild, dangerous, and primeval.
