| 520 | |a For more than two decades, Quammen has traveled to Earth's most far-flung and fragile destinations, sending back field notes from places caught in the tension between humans and the wild. The essays, originally published in National Geographic magazine and updated for today, tell colorful and impassioned stories from some of the planet's wildest locales. Here he shares encounters with African elephants, chimpanzees, and gorillas; the salmon of northeastern Russia and the people whose livelihood depends on them; the lions of Kenya and the villagers whose homes border on parks created to preserve the species; and the champions of rewilding efforts in southernmost South America, designed to rescue iconic species including jaguars and macaws. - adapted from jacket | ||
