Erudite, witty, and utterly fascinating, David Quammen's exegesis of the life and habits of four parlous predators - creatures that can and do consume humans - sets a new standard in nature writing.Here we have biology, history, sociology, politics and behaviourism combined in as full and rich a portrait of these animals and their environment as had ever been produced
T. C. Boyle, author of THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE
David Quammen is a brilliant young star of nature writing
David Quammen is a master
David Quammen has given us a frontline report from the longest war in human history - the struggle against man-eating carnivores - and shows how much we have lost by winning it. Monster of God is an adventure to read - and a sobering reminder of our place in the natural world
