SUMMARY:Jim Sterba reads from his new book Nature Wars
DESCRIPTION:This may be hard to believe but it is very likely that more people live in closer proximity to more wild animals\, birds and trees in the eastern United States today than anywhere on the planet at any time in history.  For nature lovers\, this should be wonderful news — unless\, perhaps\, you are one of more than 4\,000 drivers who will hit a deer today\, your child’s soccer field is carpeted with goose droppings\, coyotes are killing your pets\, the neighbor’s cat has turned your bird feeder into a fast-food outlet\, wild turkeys have eaten your newly-planted seed corn\, beavers have flooded your driveway\, or bears are looting your garbage cans. \nNature Wars offers an eye-opening look at how  Americans lost touch with the natural landscape\, spending 90 percent of their time indoors where nature arrives via television\, films and digital screens in which wild creatures often behave like people or cuddly pets.  All the while our well-meaning efforts to protect animals allowed wild populations to burgeon out of control\, causing damage costing billions\, degrading ecosystems\, and touching off disputes that polarized communities\, setting neighbor against neighbor. Deeply researched\, eloquently written\, counterintuitive and often humorous Nature Wars will be the definitive book on how we created this unintended mess.
