Summary:"Today, not one inch of Earth's surface remains entirely untouched by human influence. We are, as never before, responsible for the lives of the other beings sharing this planet with us. But what are those responsibilities, and what does it mean for animals to be "wild"? Transporting readers into the field with scientists tackling this defining moral challenge of our age, Emma Marris tells the affecting and inspiring stories of animals around the globe--from Peruvian monkeys to Australian bilbies, rare Hawaiian birds to majestic Oregon wolves. And she offers a companionable tour of the philosophies that may steer our search for sustainabilitiy and justice in the non-human world. Revealing just how intertwined animal and human lives really are, Wild Souls will change the way we think about nature--and our place within it." -- Back cover.
