Beaver: Natural History Of A Wetlands Engineer
by: Muller-Schwarze, Dietland & Sun, Lixing
Beavers can and do dramatically change the landscape. The beaver is a
keystone species-their skills as foresters and engineers create and maintain
ponds and wetlands that increase biodiversity, purify water and prevent
large-scale flooding. Biologists have long studied their daily and seasonal
reoutines, family structures and dispersal patterns. As human development
encroaches into formerly wild areas, property oewners and government authorities
need new, nonlethal strategies for dealing with so-called nuisance beavers.
In this book, the authors gather a wealth of scientific knowledge about
both the North American and Eurasian beaver species. 190 pages, illustrations,
b/w and color photos.

Beaver Tales
by: Tournay, Audrey
For well over 30 years, the author has rescued and raised beaver kits.
She successfully did what wildlife biologists told her was impossible:
she reintroduced them to the wild. Tournay operates the Aspen Valley Wildlife
Sanctuary, where orphaned or injured moose, raccoons, ravens, skunks,
foxes, fawns, woodchucks, muskrats, wolves, a lynx - even a full-grown
adult lioness - have come into her care. Yet Tournay has a soft spot for
beavers. That soft spot has occasionally been her bathroom, a make-shift
den behind her woodstove or on her lap. Her hands-on interaction with
many beavers has given her a special understanding of these often misunderstood
wetland animals.These are wonderful, moving and often very funny stories
about life with one of North America's most intelligent, innovative and
inventive wild creatures. 157 pages, color and B/W photos
