The Deadly Balance: Predators and People in a Crowded World

English

By (author): Adam Hart

The predators that can hunt, kill and eat us occupy a unique place in the human psyche and for good reason. Whether it's lions in Africa, tigers in India or sharks in the worlds oceans, we are fascinated by and often terrified of predators. Animals that can hunt, kill, and eat us occupy a unique place in the human psyche, and for good reason. Predation forms a big part of our evolutionary history, but in the modern world there are many people who live alongside animals that can, and sometimes do, make them prey. In The Deadly Balance, biologist Adam Hart explores the complex relationships we have with predators, and investigates what happens when humans become prey. From big cats to army ants, via snakes, bears, wolves, crocodiles, piranhas and more, Hart busts some myths and explores the science behind such encounters. Despite their fearsome and often wildly exaggerated reputations, these animals have far more to fear from us than we do from them. By probing the latest conservation science, Hart explores how we might both conserve the world's predators and live safely alongside them. See more
