Mary Roach – Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law
What do you do with a moose jaywalking across the road? Or a bear caught breaking and entering? Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law were put on trial and assigned legal representation. Today, as popular science writer Mary Roach discovers, the answers lie not in jurisprudence but in the fascinating field of human-wildlife conflict.
In Fuzz, Roach literally follows in the footsteps of forensic investigators probing animal attacks on humans, specialists in human-elephant conflicts, and bear managers. Along the way, she explores how wild creatures break human laws—and reveals that when it comes to “problem” animals, the problem—and often the solution—is usually us.
This engaging, witty, and humane book offers hope for peaceful coexistence between species in our ever-expanding human habitat. An entertaining and eye-opening read for anyone curious about the strange intersection of wildlife behavior and human society.
