THE AGE OF DEER Trouble and Kinship With Our Wild Neighbors

In this informative and entertaining audiobook, Erika Howsare uses deer as a way to explore humanity's fraught and constantly shifting relationship with the natural world. Her narration--even, measured, and relatively unobtrusive--suits the book well. Howsare's observations are so nuanced that a dramatic narration would detract from them. She shares fascinating stories, little-known histories, and lots of testimonies from dozens of people who regularly interact with deer, such as hunters, primitive skills practitioners, Department of Transportation officials, and artists. Far-ranging and often surprising, this is a memorable blend of history, philosophy, environmental writing, and more. No matter what kind of relationship you have with deer, this audiobook will change it in one way or another. L.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
