Could that be a bobcat print there in the dirt? Do those tracks belong to a domestic dog or a coyote? Combining lyrical memoir with an introduction to wildlife tracking, \u003ci\u003eWhat Walks This Way\u003c\/i\u003e explores the joys of learning to recognize the traces of the creatures with whom we share our world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe nature writer Sharman Apt Russell tells stories of her experiences tracking wildlife--mostly mammals, from mountain lions to pocket mice--near her home in New Mexico, with lessons that hold true across North America. With wit and compassion, she guides readers through the basics of identifying tracks and signs, revealing a landscape filled with the marks left by browsing deer, predatory weasels, and inquisitive bears, skunks, and raccoons. Closely observing these traces, Russell also finds community, a sense of place, and a renewed connection with the nonhuman world. She explores the health of mammal populations in North America and questions common wildlife-management practices, calling for new approaches that better reflect current understandings of ecology. Above all, \u003ci\u003eWhat Walks This Way\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of all the wild animals secretly, stubbornly, and triumphantly roving through our cities, suburbs, and countryside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharman Apt Russell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231215991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231215992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sharman Apt Russell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45265365270783,"sku":"9780231215992","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef4a9ec0-c449-4b1c-89e7-64397bc1c169.jpg?v=1713420734","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-walks-this-way-sharman-apt-russell-9780231215992","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
