"How long do the ghosts of monsters linger before their misty essence evaporates? And when the monster itself (wolf, tiger, men) returns with meat hunger, how long before prey rediscover terror? What created the singular fleetness and visual acuity of pronghorn antelope? How necessary are predators and the fear of them in maintaining the resilience of wild places? Joel Berger has written a stirring adventure of wildness, prey naiveté, animal culture, and science."
--Michael Soulé, Research Professor Emeritus in Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz"Joel Berger is a world-class conservation scientist with a rare ability to transform knowledge into conservation action. In The Better to Eat You With he conveys the mysteries and wonder of wildlife behavior in a fast-paced narrative that both informs and inspires."
--Bill Weber, author of In the Kingdom of Gorillas"The complex and nuanced interplay between predator and prey is an essential thread in the fabric of nature. Joel Berger's substantial contributions to this emerging world view have been rendered through simplicity and elegance--by observing prey and their predators across global landscapes in a purposeful way. This book, delivered in the personalized style of a life's journey, tells an absorbing story of how big animals alter their behavior so as to manage the risk of being eaten."
--James A. Estes, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Santa Cruz"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
