News reports of wild animal sightings in cities and communities are almost routine features, particularly in urban areas adjoining what were once open land and forest. Ricciuti explains why the sightings, and their occasional consequences, have become so commonplace. As wildlife biologists and government officials attempt to cope with balancing the requirements of humans and animals, they are finding the situation has changed. The author delves into topics such as how the environmental movement and urban sprawl contributed to the animal invasion. And he addresses the situation by considering individually several species of animals, coyotes, deer and moose, bears, alligators, and more. Distributed by W.W. Norton & Company.
