关于此电子书

Coyotes were the most misunderstood, maligned, and hated creatures on the North American continent. Most of the hate for coyotes was propagated by people who did not understand the importance or the contribution coyotes make to create a healthy environment. As you begin to understand the role that coyotes play in nature, you will see how they are not evil creatures but keystone species. When you start to see how they shape to their environment, new respect and awe develop. After a closer look, we have discovered that coyotes are indeed keystone species that benefit other animals in their ecosystems. Finally, you will be impressed by coyotes' ability to withstand nearly all odds of attacks and attempts to eradicate them.

作者简介

Richard NeSmith is a native of Florida, USA. He grew up wading through the swamps of central Florida with his two younger brothers during the pre-Disney era, and unknowingly, falling in love with biology, wildlife, and nature. He has lived in seven American states, twice in Australia, and once in Mexico City. He holds eight university degrees and has taught for 14 years in secondary schools, here and abroad, and another 13 years as professor in several American universities. His service includes professor of science education, Dean of Education, Campus Dean, as well as an online instructor. His passion for learning (and how we learn) did not develop until after graduating from high school, and his only explanation for this is that having a goal made all the difference in the world. He enjoys reading, hiking, nature photography, golf, and tennis.
