Could that be a bobcat print there in the dirt? Do those tracks belong to a domestic dog or a coyote?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombining lyrical memoir with an introduction to wildlife tracking, \u003cem\u003eWhat Walks This Way\u003c\/em\u003e explores the joys of learning to recognize the traces of the creatures with whom we share our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe nature writer Sharman Apt Russell tells stories of her experiences tracking wildlife—mostly mammals, from mountain lions to pocket mice—near her home in New Mexico, with lessons that hold true across North America. With wit and compassion, she guides readers through the basics of identifying tracks and signs, revealing a landscape filled with the marks left by browsing deer, predatory weasels, and inquisitive bears, skunks, and raccoons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClosely observing these traces, Russell also finds community, a sense of place, and a renewed connection with the nonhuman world. She explores the health of mammal populations in North America and questions common wildlife-management practices, calling for new approaches that better reflect current understandings of ecology. Above all, \u003cem\u003eWhat Walks This Way\u003c\/em\u003e is a celebration of all the wild animals secretly, stubbornly, and triumphantly roving through our cities, suburbs, and countryside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855483654380,"sku":"9780231215992","price":45.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780231215992.jpg?v=1759269409","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/what-walks-this-way-by-sharman-apt-russell-9780231215992","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
