Where the Wild Things Were: Life, Death, and Ecological Wreckage in a Land of Vanishing Predators

Author: William Stolzenburg
Stars: 5
Review by: Marianne S.

A lively look at the work of ecologists, over the past fifty or so years, who have proposed that the shrinking diversity to be found in ecosystems around the world is attributable to the lack of apex predators. Includes a thought provoking analysis of the consequences of a lack of predators here in the land of the white-tailed deer.
