"An outstanding contribution by a widely recognized expert in wildlife biology."
--Mike Thompson, Wildlife Manager, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks
""Life on the Rocks" expertly weaves together the ecology and magic of North America's most unique mountain dweller. With prose as vivid and inspiring as the dramatic photos of mountain goats in their stark, tilted world, Bruce Smith shares his love and knowledge of an animal few will ever see in the wild."
--Chris Smith, Western Field Representative, Wildlife Management Institute
""Life on the Rocks" presents to the general public an overview of the biology of one of the least understood but highly charismatic animals of North America. In both text and stunning images, Bruce Smith reveals his own experience with mountain goats and uses his passion for alpine environments and nature to raise attention for conservation needs of the 21st century."
--Steeve Cote, Professor of Biology, Laval University, Quebec, Canada
"Mountain goats are fascinating. They do not look like any other ungulate, live in a spectacular but harsh environment, and much of their ecology remains poorly known. "Life on the Rocks" provides an intimate portrait of this denizen of the heights, drawing upon the rich personal experience of the author as well as the scientific literature. Illustrated by stunning photographs, the book is a call to action for the conservation of mountain goats and their fragile high-elevation ecosystem. It will be of interest to all who appreciate the mountain wilderness."
--Marco Festa-Bianchet, Universite de Sherbrooke, Canada
"The noble mountain goat is exquisitely adapted to place. As this fine book makes clear, though, people are changing those places, and fast. Here's one more face of creation asking implicitly that we back off some."
--Bill McKibben, environmentalist and author of The End of Nature and Deep Economy
"An outstanding contribution by a widely recognized expert in wildlife biology."
--Mike Thompson, Wildlife Manager, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks
