[Richard Hesslein · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another very good book on beaver and their habits and work, with the interesting addition of "old lore" and quotes of impressions and myths. I did find the book to somewhat overstate the beaver's "thriving" comeback and understate the value of their needed return for our ecological health (as yet greatly unrealized!). The Resources and Bibliography sections at the back are significant aids to further research and reading!
