Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History

Un beau livre
Mon fils avait une présentation à l'école sur le Coyote. Nous avons trouvé beaucoup d'information et c'est vraiment bien écrit.

Coyote America tells an important part of this continent's natural history with reason, science, and folklore.
This is a terrific book. Even better than American Serengeti, which was fabulous in its own right. This book is more coherent, based around a central theme, and less a series of individual essays. It is well written and thoroughly researched. A little on the academic side (no surprise), but still an easy book to read. Coyote America tells an important part of this continent's natural history with reason, science, and folklore.A couple of the negative reviews miss the important points of the book. Coyotes are like us: survivors, opportunists, and problem solvers. Yes, they have been persecuted for over a century and that part is very ugly, but they still not only survived this-they are thriving. We have a lot to learn from them.I spend a lot time outdoors, hunting and fishing. Over the last few years I've seen more and more coyotes, often wondering why. After reading Coyote America, I now understand why this is happening and appreciate how special the song dog really is. I'll never look at them the same way.

Fantastic book
Uses the coyote as a foil to describe America. Clever and very readable

Chilling history of survival of the species
Flores is an amazing, thoughtful, detailed writer. Excellent book. I graduated from one of the best Fish & Wildlife schools and never knew the history behind predator control/wildlife service. Chills down my spine when I recall some of it.

Excellent read
A fantastic book about one of the world's most resilient and adaptable creatures: the coyote.I have always admired this animal but thanks to this book I can understand them a little better, too.
