Outdoor recreation writer Nelson describes the habits and haunts of bears, cougars, lynx, bobcats, coyotes, and wolves in an effort to dispel myths about them which negatively impact their odds for survival. His premise is that a better understanding of predators will promote human coexistence with them. The text also includes information on what to do when encountering different types of predators face to face. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
