“Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law” by Mary Roach

What do you do when the burglar is a black bear? Or when the jaywalker is a moose, and the vandal is a gull with a grudge against the Vatican?

Mary Roach, the irrepressibly curious author of “Stiff” and “Gulp,” sets out to meet the people whose job is to handle wildlife that misbehaves. She rides along with bear-conflict officers in Colorado, learns the forensic science of solving animal attacks, and joins the battle against monkeys gone rogue in India and birds running wild near airports. She even explores how the Vatican keeps gulls from stealing the show. Along the way she asks the tough questions about how people and wild creatures can share the same neighborhoods.

The New York Times Book Review called her a “wisecracking, ever-probing guide.” It’s funny, fascinating, and full of facts you’ll want to read aloud.

This trade paperback is in very good condition, and it’s waiting for you at Dead Tree Dreams.
