Résumé

Beavers are environmental Swiss Army knives, capable of tackling just about any ecological dilemma. Trying to slow down floods or filter out pollution ? There's a beaver for that. Hoping to capture more water for agriculture in the face of climate change ? Add a beaver. Concerned about erosion, salmon runs, or wildfire ? Take two beaver families, and check back in a year. Ben Goldfarb's captivating book reveals how beavers transformed our landscapes, and how modern-day "Beaver Believers" — including scientists, ranchers, and passionate citizens — are recruiting these ecosystem engineers to help us fight our most pressing conservation crises.
Ultimately, Eager is about the history-changing influence of a remarkable rodent — and how we can learn to harmoniously coexist with our fellow travelers on this planet.
