"Join America's funniest science writer..." (Washington Post), Mary Roach, on an irresistible investigation into the unpredictable world where wildlife and humans meet.

Roach tags along with animal-attack forensics investigators, human-elephant conflict specialists, bear managers, and danger tree faller blasters. Intrepid as ever, she travels from leopard-terrorized hamlets in the Indian Himalaya to St. Peter's Square in the early hours before the pope arrives for Easter Mass, when vandal gulls swoop in to destroy the elaborate floral display. She taste-tests rat bait, learns how to install a vulture effigy, and gets mugged by a macaque.

When it comes to problem wildlife, she finds, humans are more often the problem--and the solution. Fascinating, witty, and humane, "Fuzz" offers hope for compassionate coexistence in our ever-expanding human habitat.
