by David Quammen
When might the conquering of savage and deadly creatures that would prey upon us prove a disappointment? Monster of God proposes that humanity's newfound status at the top of the food chain endangers our ecosystem by making us less conscious of how we inhabit it. If all of our would-be predators are either dead or under glass by the year 2050, as author David Quammen theorizes, the adventurous streak that brings Quammen to the brown bears of Romania, the lions of India's Gir forest, and the crocodiles of southeast Australia may too diminish. Monster of God brings to light our most primal instincts and urges, presenting a view of the wild serving as a mirror of our own ferocity.
