Hi you all, below, a book submission for you all.
If you think you have seen this book before you have, but it vanished off
the bookshare files when the transfer happened and was not to be found
anywhere, and since well I needed to resubmit it, might as well, give it a
face lift.
Unfortunately not in the comments is that this book does NOT need to be
marked adult!

Long Synopsis:
When residents of Boulder, Colorado, suddenly began to see mountain lions
in their backyards, it became clear that the cats had returned after decades
of bounty hunting had driven them far from human settlement. In a riveting
environmental tale that has received huge national attention, journalist
David Baron traces the history of the mountain lion and chronicles one
town's tragic effort to coexist with its new neighbors. As thought-provoking
as it is harrowing, The Beast in the Garden is a tale of nature corrupted,
the clash between civilization and wildness, and the artificiality of the
modern American landscape. It is, ultimately, a book about the future of our
nation, where suburban sprawl and wildlife-protection laws are pushing
people and wild animals into uncomfortable, sometimes deadly proximity.

America has been called a melting pot, but it seems better to call it a
mosaic, for in it each nation, people or race which has come to its shores
has been privileged to keep its individuality, contributing at the same time
its share to the unified pattern of a new nation. -King Baudouin of Belgium
(1930-1993)
