Path of the Puma: The Remarkable Resilience of the Mountain Lion by Jim Williams
Summary: During
a time when most wild animals are experiencing decline in the face of
development and climate change, the intrepid mountain lion -- also known as a
puma, a cougar, and by many other names – has experienced reinvigoration as
well as expansion of territory. What makes this cat, the fourth carnivore in
the food chain -- just ahead of humans – so resilient and resourceful? And what
can conservationists and wild life managers learn from them about the web of
biodiversity that is in desperate need of protection? Their story is
fascinating for the lessons it can afford the protection of all species in times
of dire challenge and decline.

comments: A moving look at pumas, especially those
in Montana and the Patagonia region of South America. The personal stories are
fascinating, and the photographs are stunning. Author Williams gives readers a
lot to think about, and some ideas for concrete actions.
Recommended for readers interested in animals, nature, the environment,
and/or human interaction with the earth.
