Summary: Truer words........
Comment: In reference to another reviewer in this listing, this specific book does a fine job of giving the reader a realistic view of the true nature of the cougar and it's interactions with humans in the present day. I live in a section of central coastal Oregon where the season is extended past the normal dates due to the amount of activity and damage from Cougars. We have to close down school yards, drive kids to school and essentially alter our daily routines (running,biking,walking pets etc..) to protect ourselves. There are "Cougar Drills" in our classrooms. While I understand the image folks have of "the bad hunters", were it not not for legislation limiting hunting these magnificent animals, we would in all probability, not be forced to deal with the current resurgence and growing numbers of mountain lions in such a negative way.

Summary: An annoying, poorly disguised pro-hunting book
Comment: This book is portrayed as an objective review of cougar attacks in North America. Unfortunately it's true goal comes out after a few pages when the book's main theme is revealed - that if only the hunting of mountain lions was allowed again, these terrbile attacks would not have happened. Of course, the real experts do not agree that this is the case, so all we have here is the self-serving opinion of the author being shoved down our throats. The author it turns out, is a hunter. While the book boasts a foreward by Harley Shaw, Shaw's words try to counter the author's intended message, attempting to play down the author's conclusions by pointing out that human attack by cougars is a rare thing indeed. If I had known this was a pro-hunting book written by a hunter, I would not have bought it. "Cat Attack" is a far more objective book.
Rating: 5
Summary: The best book I have seen on this subject.
Comment: I live on Vancouver Island, the cougar capital of North America and this book was a real eye-opener for me. It is well-written and thoroughly researched and should be read by anyone who spends time in areas frequented by these magnificent cats. It not only gives a complete history of North American cougar attacks but gives solid useful advice if this ever happens to you. Highly recommended.
