From the trickster of Native American legends to the devious Wile E. Coyote of cartoon fame, the coyote has long been associated with cunning, greed, and guile. An enduring symbol of wildness, combining the sleekness of the cat, the intelligence of the fox, and the wildness of the wolf, the coyote is perhaps best known for its haunting howl -- the true voice of the wild. Richly illustrated, The World of the Coyote is a tribute to this complex creature's remarkable spirit and an invitation to a greater understanding of the coyote's vital place in our world.
"Wayne Grady has done a superb job.... He has brought us a new image of the coyote -- one that demands our immense respect -- the icon of success and defiance against those who think they can control nature." -- Dr. Bob Crabtree, Director, Yellowstone Ecosystem Studies, Bozeman, Montana
"This book is a testament to the cunning, adaptability and sheer tenacity of the coyote in its struggle to survive." -- Mike Gibeau, Conservation Biologist.
