During a time when most wild animals are experiencing decline in the face of development and climate change, the intrepid mountain lion - also known as a puma, a cougar, and by many other names - has experienced reinvigoration as well as expansion of territory. What makes this cat, the fourth carnivore in the food chain - just ahead of humans - so resilient and resourceful? And what can conservationists and wild life managers learn from them about the web of biodiversity that is in desperate need of protection?

Not all good authors are good narrators
Revisado: 07-12-21
Great book, bad narration. Unfortunately, the author's reading of the book was halting and awkward. I had to take frequent breaks from listening because his cadence was so bad. it very much sounded like he needed more practice and training on how to read aloud. That said, his book is fantastic and I'll likely reread it. For anything else he publishes, though, he should get a professional narrator to do the reading.

One of the most significant works on our evolutionary ancestry since Richard Leakey's Origins, The First Signs is the first-ever exploration of the geometric images that accompany most cave art around the world—the first indications of symbolic meaning, intelligence, and language.

Could not handle the narrator's S's
Revisado: 03-08-21
I typically read along with the audiobook using a physical copy, but in this case I had to turn the recording off. I tried and retried listening, but the narrator's pronunciation of s's hits my ear so sharply that I was wincing. I could not focus on the book, so distracting was the discomfort. I have some auditory sensitivities, so this likely won't be an issue for everyone, but for me it was a non-starter. It's a shame because the narrator is otherwise very capable with a bright, engaging voice.
