Can man and bear live together?

The mighty brown bear and the tiny ermine, the elusive marten and the cosmopolitan fox, the elegant lynx and the clumsy badger, along with the wolf, the jackal and the otter: nine alpine species belonging to the Carnivore Order for nine chapters, each focusing on a different research field or a “special” encounter of the author. They are the cue to analyze important issues in a fragile and changing world and to understand what challenges need to be addressed as soon as possible in order to prevent even our mountains from succumbing to the Anthropocene.
This book is an autobiographical account of a zoologist who takes us into his field to reflect on global warming, biological invasions and pollution, but most importantly on the relationship we may have with the wild animals living around us.
