Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History Free Audiobook Download by Dan Flores

I was intrigued by this book because the author, Dan Flores, is an award-winning science and history journalist, a conservationist and an acclaimed novelist. I enjoyed his prose style, which makes it quite easy to read and follow the story of one of America's most mysterious animals.

Dan Flores won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize and has been deemed the "king of natural science writing." Coyote America is a retelling and expansion of his earlier books, Coyote America: A Natural History and Coyote America: A Supernatural History, which explore the history of coyotes in North America. The audiobook version includes an introduction from Elijah Alexander, who narrates the audiobook.

"Coyote America is the story of a man who has come to know that nature is not just about what we see with our eyes but about what we sense with our heart. It is the story of a man who has come to appreciate the long-term, though often unseen, effects on the world of his own and other people's actions."

In Coyote America, renowned naturalist and author Dan Flores guides listeners through the five states that make up the southwestern United States. Flores describes the region's diverse ecosystems, from those in the Sonoran Desert to those in higher elevations of the Rockies. He also explores topics such as conservation, endangered species, and urban coyotes.

The Coyote has a long history in American folklore; it was first documented by European explorers in North America as early as 1519. From the Native Americans stories of trickster and fairy tales, to the experiments on animals, to the coyotes that invaded cities in search of food, coyote stories have been told through literature, music, paintings, film, television and almost any other medium since before America became a nation.

Coyote America is about animals, both natural and supernatural. The book tells the story of coyotes, red foxes, bobcats, opossums, badgers, wolves, bears, mountain lions, and the ancient ones that shaped them. It explores what makes these wild animals so unique and how they have shaped our culture as well as our planet. This book is also about human beings, their relationship with nature and what we owe to it.
