Couldn't put in down!
An excellent examination of the nexus between modern civilization and nature, as we continue to develop housing at the edge of wilderness. It reads like a detective story, alternately fascinating, chilling and insightful. I've passed this well-written book on to more than a half-dozen people- all were enthralled! All the more of interest as we live in "Mountain Lion" country!
