A rare fox in the South American cordillera. A disappearing fox on an island off California. A common coyote in the Albany suburbs. How do these wild carnivores live? And what is it about the places they live that allows them to survive? Holly Menino joins up with three young scientists to find out, and along the way is drawn into a broader consideration of the science that defines these animals’ natural histories. With the same intelligent, lucid style that made Forward Motion such a success, Darwin’s Fox and My Coyote is a sympathetic but unsentimental examination of animals in their habitats. Field biology spearheaded the animal conservation movement by creating a new awareness of wild animals and bringing to public consciousness their needs and vulnerabilities.

Editorial : "Darwin’s Fox and My Coyote is a remarkable and very important bookboth a fascinating adventure story and a comprehensive, close-up look at the formidable amount of science that supports and enables wildlife conservation. With depth, clarity, and admirable scholarship, Holly Menino has produced a real page-turner for a very wide range of readers, young and old, scientists and laymen, from those in the front lines of conservation to those who want to learn about it. As someone who has been involved with animals all my life, I consider myself no stranger to these matters, but I was dazzled by the insights I gained from these pages.
