Very minor wear on the clean complete DJ. ; First Printing of the First US Edition. 9-3/4" square 143pp. Dark blue boards bright gold spine lettering. NATURE. Everything you ever wanted to know about coyotes but didn't know who to ask. "The coyote has been an enduring symbol of wildness. Combining the sleekness of the cat the quick intelligence of the fox and the brute wildness of the wolf the coyote is perhaps best known for its haunting howl - the true voice of the wilderness. Searching for the truth behind the myths and symbols Grady draws from scientific literature discussions with experts and his own experience to explore the nature of this complex member of the canid family. In a lucid and gracefully written text he describes how coyotes mate including their lyrical love duet proclaimng their bond; how they defend their territory; and how they communicate through scent marking and eleven distinctive types of howls. Today as the range and population of the coyote have increased so has confict between coyotes and farmers. Despite concerted efforts to exterminate the coyote its presence in our wilderness and settled area has actually increased. Grady celebrates this success and issues an invitation to us all to understand better and to appreciate the coyote's vital place in the world. The absorbing text is complemented by 72full-color full-page and double-page photographs by some of the best wildlife photographers in the world. Together text and photogrraphs convey the spirit of the coyote in all its mystery and willdness. " Also the photographs have very informative captions; you can learn an awfully lot about coyotes just from them. . Index. . Sierra Club Books hardcover
