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

NATURE. "Naturalist Jack Denton Scott and photographers Ozzie and Diane Sweet open our eyes to a familiar yet startling creature. Accustomed to thinking of swans on the water we might be surprised to learn that this bird is such an accomplished flyer - it has been clocked at speeds of more than 55 miles an hour and heights as much as 30000 feet! Few of us will have the opportunity to observe firsthand swans as young cygnets or as mates or parents or to see the startlingly unique two species of black swans but Scottt and the Sweets bring us right into this world. The phenomenon of a male mute incubating eggs is an impressive sight and the heartwarming pictures of cygnets nestled in the down of their mother's backside for a free ride across the pond will long stay with us after we have closed these pages.

"Pleasant Bay is the largest estuary on Cape Cod and is extraordinarily rich in plant and animal life. SHALLOW WATERS is a season-by-season chronicle of the life of the bay: spring when the sticklebacks mate and the herring run; summer when the terns nest and the horseshoe crabs hold their orgy; autumn with its great migrations of birds and eels; winter when the blizzard blows and the seals return to seal island. To write this book Sargent spent seven years studying the life of the bay: walking its shores diving in its creeks and shallows observing and photographing the creatures of the bay. A unique feature of the book is that it not only describes the important events in the life of the bay but tells you why they are important and why they happen. " Bibliography.

"For more than thirty years I've been prowling marshes of all kinds all over North America day and night alike and what you see here in these photographs and stories is what I have to show and tell. Most of the photographs portray either the marsh scene - near or far - or the mystery birds within. This volume is an evocation and an exploration not a catalog of marshland life and so some plants and birds are generously represented whereas others are absent altogether. I hope to provide a true and telling look at what the state of the marshlands is today and I hope to bring the marsh to others so they too can see some of the treasures out there - still out there - in these withholding Edens.
