Summary

"Nighttime Ambushers" delves into the fascinating lives of nocturnal predators and their specialized adaptations for thriving in low-light environments. It explores how animals like owls and big cats have evolved unique sensory capabilities and hunting strategies to dominate the darkness. The book highlights how heightened sensory perception, combined with specific behavioral adaptations, is crucial for their survival.One intriguing example is the exceptional hearing of owls, which allows them to locate prey hidden beneath layers of snow. The book progresses systematically, beginning with the challenges of night hunting and then diving into specific case studies of different predator groups.It examines how these predators exploit the vulnerabilities of their prey at night, emphasizing the importance of understanding this for both appreciating nature and informing conservation efforts. By exploring the sensory capabilities and hunting techniques of these creatures, "Nighttime Ambushers" provides a comprehensive look at the science behind nocturnal predation and its impact on ecological balance.

    Patience Worth is an examination of the communications between a seventeenth century woman and a certain Mrs. Curran of St. Louis, in 1913. Contact with the spirit world or parlor trick? If the latter, it was well done: the quick-witted repartee appeared unrehearsed, the language was authentic, the references to English nature and life accurate, although Mrs. Curran had never visited England. Mrs. Curran, herself, was a smart, quick-witted socialite of good repute, unlikely to have been a fraudster. She did not 'perform' publicly, only in front of friends and invited guests, and never for money. She was a musician by training, not a writer or poet, yet many of the communications took the form of blank verse and were of a poetical nature. Since its publication, the phenomenon has been much studied and general view is that Patience Worth was the invention of Pearl Curran's imagination. In this volume, we are presented with the evidence and left to decide for ourselves. - Summary by Lynne Thompson

    Humans and canines have been cohabitating for centuries, straddling a boundary that allows us to live together within and across our species. In this empathetic volume, author Dave Dempsey explores this life on the border, the overlapping planes between humans and the nonhuman world that lead to both magnificent creation and appalling destruction. Dempsey’s forty-year career as an environmentalist gives this book a nuanced context that could only be afforded by someone who has lived a half-wild existence himself, both defending and expanding the range of protections afforded to other species. As the former environmental advisor to Michigan Governor James J. Blanchard, Dempsey’s recollections also provide a unique perspective on the history of environmental policy, ruminating on how such policy reflects the way we understand ourselves in relation to the environment. Through vignettes that recall personal stories and those that outline historical events that influenced policymaking, Dempsey calls attention to the philosophical question of how we as humans relate to animals and our environment.
