CHASING COYOTES recounts the stories of residents in many US cities who have encountered coyotes or suffered the consequences of coyote attacks on themselves or their loved ones. These accounts run the gamut from simple sightings near homes, at parks, and on city streets to coyote attacks on humans.

In addition to background history on coyotes in urban areas and scientific data about coyote habituation and behavior, the author provides practical advice for those seeking to “coyote-proof” their homes and communities. Although no measures are foolproof, taking the practical steps outlined in CHASING COYOTES will lessen one’s chances of a coyote encounter or attack.

Our goal for posting this title on NetGalley is twofold:

(1) Receive feedback from readers on the overall content of the book.

(2) Increase exposure (and in the long-term, sales) of this title to professionals and consumers.

As to the first goal, please note that we have strived to make this title informative and fact-based while maintaining an overall voice and style that laypeople should find accessible. As a result, the content often walks a tightrope between scientifically validated, statistically proven research and anecdotal evidence from real people living real lives who may be (and often are) indifferent to what their experiences mean in a more abstract sense (i.e., to scientists).

It is our hope that we have successfully created a book that is both compelling and readable, and we look forward to your feedback.
