A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial. These days, as \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e best-selling author Mary Roach discovers, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoach tags along with animal-attack forensics investigators, human-elephant conflict specialists, bear managers, and danger tree faller blasters. Intrepid as ever, she travels from leopard-terrorized hamlets in the Indian Himalaya to St. Peter's Square in the early hours before the pope arrives for Easter Mass, when vandal gulls swoop in to destroy the elaborate floral display. She taste-tests rat bait, learns how to install a vulture effigy, and gets mugged by a macaque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining little-known forensic science and conservation genetics with a motley cast of laser scarecrows, langur impersonators, and trespassing squirrels, Roach reveals as much about humanity as about nature's lawbreakers. When it comes to problem wildlife, she finds, humans are more often the problem--and the solution. Fascinating, witty, and humane, \u003cem\u003eFuzz\u003c\/em\u003e offers hope for compassionate coexistence in our ever-expanding human habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePraise for Mary Roach\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is much to enjoy about Mary Roach--her infectious awe for quirky science and its nerdy adherents, her one-liners...She is beloved, and justifiably so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-- Jon Ronson, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur most consistently entertaining science journalist...Roach goes where other writers wouldn't dare...And her search produces images--a kind of technopoetry--that are hard to forget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-- \u003cem\u003eO, The Oprah Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNobody does weird science quite like [Mary Roach].\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-- Lexi Pandell, \u003cem\u003eWired\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[Mary Roach] is a bold, tenacious, and insatiable reporter...[She] has a knack for posing the embarrassing, nonlinear and too obvious questions that others are always afraid to ask.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-- Pamela Paul, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[Roach's books are] meticulously researched, beautifully written, and disturbingly funny...Roach's prose is a triumph--an engaging blend of anecdote, research, and reflection...She's the most courageous--and empathetic--science writer we've got.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-- Emily Rapp Black, \u003cem\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoach excels in capturing science's 'foreign country' aspect--roaming as a stranger in a strange land among its weird norms and novelties, grand monomaniacal passions, practitioners' idiosyncrasies and obscure lexicon...She writes exquisitely about the excruciating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-- Stephen Phillips, \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 455\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.42 x 8.5 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 23, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Print:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47342673559801,"sku":"9781432894269","price":61.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/cCtwOHNncHU1MS9zamo0b2IzbXRVQT09.webp?v=1769714042","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/fuzz-when-nature-breaks-the-law-library-binding","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
