Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History

This Book Is Both An Environmental And A Deep Natural History Of The Coyote. It Traces Both The Five-million-year-long Biological Story Of An Animal That Has Become The Wolf In Our Backyards, As Well As Its Cultural Evolution From A Preeminent Spot In Native American Religions To The Hapless Foil Of The Road Runner. A Deeply American Tale, The Story Of The Coyote In The American West And Beyond Is A Sort Of Manifest Destiny In Reverse, With A Pioneering Hero Whose Career Holds Up An Uncanny Mirror To The Successes And Failures Of American Expansionism–dust Jacket Flap. American Avatar — Old Man America — Prairie Wolf — A War On Wild Things — The Archpredator Of Our Time — Morning In America — Bright Lights, Big Cities — Coyote America — Coyote Consciousness.
