This remarkable book offers an intimate look at the life histories and habitats of mammals in the Pacific Northwest, from the coast to the high Cascades. For each species of mammal, the book provides a physical description and detailed information on distribution, habitat, and behavior. Over 100 photos.
I spent over 25 years as a research scientist in natural history and ecology in forest, shrub steppe, subarctic, desert, coastal, and agricultural settings. Trained primarily as a vertebrate zoologist, I was a research mammalogist in Nubia, Egypt, (1963-1964) with the Yale University Peabody Museum Prehistoric Expedition and a research mammalogist in Nepal (1966-1967), where I participated in a study of tick-borne diseases for the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit #3 based in Cairo, Egypt. I conducted a three-year (1970-1973) ecological survey of the Oregon Coast for the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington. I was a research ecologist with the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management for thirteen years (1974-1987)--the last eight studying old-growth forests in western Oregon--and a landscape ecologist with the Environmental Protection Agency for one year (1990-1991).
Today I am an independent author as well as an international lecturer, facilitator, and consultant in resolving environmental conflicts, vision statements, sustainable community development, as well as forest ecology and sustainable forestry practices.
I have written over 285 publications, including 34 books I have either written or coauthored in the last 20 years. My books are in libraries in 74 countries, including the United States and Canada.
I have lived, worked, consulted, and/or Lectured in: Austria * Canada * Chile * Egypt * France * Germany * Japan * Malaysia * Mexico * Nepal * Slovakia * Switzerland * and various settings in the United States.
