Book Description
Hunter and Hunted is a fascinating account of the intricate relationships between predators and humans. Written by one of the world's best known naturalists, Hans Kruuk, it is both about his life-long passion for meat-eaters as diverse as otters and wolves, tigers and hyaenas, and a scientific exploration of what carnivores mean to humans and vice versa. Written in an easy and accessible style, and illustrated by charming anecdotes and wonderful line drawings, it will delight all those wanting a closer understanding of our complex feelings for carnivores.

Product Description
Hans Kruuk, a life-long naturalist, tells the fascinating story of carnivores and humans' intricate relationships with them. The book is illustrated with specially commissioned drawings, and deals not only with the wild beauty of carnivores and their conservation, but also with the topics of furs and medicine, man-eaters and sheep-killers. Kruuk explains in simple terms the role of carnivores in nature, how they impact human life, art and literature, and how we instinctively respond to them and why.
