What's to be done about a drunken elephant? A monkey caught mugging passers-by? A trespassing squirrel? Mary Roach delves into the unpredictable world where wildlife and humans meet. 'Delightful' Ed Yong, author ofAn Immense World Follow Mary Roach as she investigates laser scarecrows, robo-hawks, human-elephant conflict specialists and monkey impersonators. Travel to the bear-busy back alleys of Aspen, the gull-vandalized floral displays at the Vatican and leopard-terrorized hamlets in the Himalayas. In this fresh, funny and thoroughly researched book, dive into the weird and wonderful moments when humanity and wildlife bump up against one another. *** AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF 2021 'A provocative and engaging exploration of our evolving relationship with the rest of nature.' Guardian 'Combining diligently researched scientific reporting with the sniggering wit of a stand-up comic? Animal Vegetable Criminal loves an eyebrow-raising anecdote.' The Times 'An idiosyncratic tour with Roach as the wisecracking, ever-probing guide? My favorite moments, ultimately, weren't the funny ones, but those that reveal a bit of scientific poetry.' New York Times
