Real encounters at the boundary between people and wildlife

Edited by Michael J. Tougias, this updated collection brings together real-life accounts of dangerous encounters between humans and wild animals. Its scope ranges across bears, boars, dogs, sharks, and wolves, using these incidents to examine the uneasy overlap between human activity and native habitats. The book’s organizing idea is that familiarity, fear, hunting, and attempts at protection can all shape how people meet the animals around them—and how quickly an encounter can turn threatening. With many species and situations gathered in one volume, it offers a broad nature-focused look at human vulnerability in the animal world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in real-life wildlife encounters

  • Those seeking collections of animal-attack accounts

Book overview

Since we humans have evolved into the dominant species on this planet, we sometimes fail to recognize--and respect--the ever-present threat posed by the animals we love or fear, hunt or fight to protect. Many of nature's most lethal residents have combative skills that have been honed by millions of years of adaptive survival, and it takes only a second for an otherwise evolved individual to become a helpless victim. WHEN MAN IS THE PREY is a one-of-a-kind collection of real-life encounters between man and beast that explores the uneasy relationship that humanity has with its native habitat. From bears, boars, and black dogs to swimming with sharks and dancing with wolves, the stories in WHEN MAN IS THE PREY offer a fascinating, frightening, and enlightening look at the natural world and its many creatures.
