Requests:  0 Summary:  "Join "America's funniest science writer" (Peter Carlson, Washington Post) Mary Roach on an irresistible investigation into the unpredictable world where wildlife and humans meet. What's to be done about a jaywalking moose? A grizzly bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? As New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach discovers, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology. Roach tags along with animal attack forensics investigators, human-elephant conflict specialists, bear managers, and "danger tree" faller-blasters. She travels from leopard-terrorized hamlets in the Indian Himalaya to St. Peter's Square in the early hours before the Pope arrives for Easter Mass, when vandal gulls swoop in to destroy the elaborate floral display. Along the way, Roach reveals as much about humanity as about nature's lawbreakers. Combining little-known forensic science and conservation genetics with a motley cast of laser scarecrows, langur impersonators, and mugging macaques, Fuzz offers hope for compassionate coexistence in our ever-expanding human habitat"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Ro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Ro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Ro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 591.5 Ro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Roach Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Ro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Ro Checked out 07/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Ro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Ro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Ro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
