Description
Beavers are creatures unlike any other, with unique fish-like tails and chainsaw teeth. This fascinating animal has played a significant role in human history, inspiring a rich cultural tradition for millennia. Rachel Poliquin explores four exceptional beaver features: musk, fur, architecture, and ecology, tracing the long evolutionary history of these two living species. She examines how beavers have been depicted in various forms of media, including Aesop's Fables, American mythology, contemporary art, and environmental politics. This book is a unique blend of animal lore and biology, beautifully illustrated to appeal to anyone interested in forgotten animal stories. With its accessible style and engaging approach, Beaver offers a fresh perspective on these remarkable animals, shedding light on their survival capabilities and the cultural significance they hold.
