In The Carnivore Way, Cristina Eisenberg argues compellingly for the necessity of top predators in large, undisturbed landscapes, and how a continental-long corridor - a "carnivore way" - provides the room they need to roam and connected landscapes that allow them to disperse. Eisenberg follows the footsteps of six large carnivores - wolves, grizzly bears, lynx, jaguars, wolverines, and cougars - on a 7,500-mile wildlife corridor from Alaska to Mexico...

Looks at the meat-eating dinosaurs that once roamed our planet, the earliest and tinest carnivores to the king of dinosaurs and other newly discovered monsters.

A lion, a great white shark, and a timber wolf, all meat-eaters who have been hurt by the cruelty of plant-eaters, form a support group which has limited success until their newest member, a great horned owl, shares some advice.

Some of history's most ferocious meat-eatersاTyrannosaurus rex, Velociraptor, and Allosaurusاare all on the prowl for their next meals. Meet all these deadly dinos and more inside!

Includes information on mammals in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.
