Predation forms a big part of our evolutionary history, but in the modern world there are many people who live alongside animals that can, and sometimes do, make them prey. Hart explores the complex relationships we have with predators: from big cats to army ants; snakes, bears, and more, he untangles the science behind such encounters, which are often cloaked with confusing or contradictory fear-driven myth. -- adapted from back cover. 650 0 $a Predatory animals. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships. 650 0 $a Predation (Biology) 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021031935.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230802012001.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=857411FA30FC11EEBC3B3D423BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
