By Chris Maser

For each species of mammal, the book provides a physical description and detailed information on distribution, habitat, and behavior.

Maser delves into the secrets of how mammals live and explores the dynamic relationship between mammals and their habitats. Mammals of the Pacific Northwest provides a fascinating natural history of the region's wildlife. It is illustrated with over one hundred photographs of mammals and their tracks, dens, and young.

Predators at Risk in the Pacific Northwest
by Dan A. Nelson
Amazed by the general public's near-total lack of understanding when it comes to predator issues, Dan Nelson seeks to separate the facts from fiction surrounding these wild animals of the Pacific Northwest. Offering insights based on fair and comprehensive research, Nelson explores the natural habits of wolves, cougars, coyotes, lynx, black bears, and grizzly bears. He explains each species' current status, the policies surrounding it, human perceptions of it, and what the future might hold for its survival in this region.
