Great knowledge and detailed research on a rodent that has yet to be fully appreciated for its contribution to aquatic reclamation and drought prevention!

Beavers are wonderful for the environment. This book explains why and gives examples. The paperback edition has extremely small print making it difficult to read. I give up on the small print and bought the kindle edition.

Purchased for my mother’s 80th birthday. She loves watching the beavers in her small lake and has learned/ enjoyed their behaviors. This book added so much information to her observations and now she tells her friends all about the beavers. Great book for learning how this creature gives so much to our lives if we allow it to.

As a UK resident enjoying the rise of beaver reintroductions here, I cannot praise this book enough. The anecdotes and politics of modern US beaver conservation (and eradication !) was a fantastic read. Can't wait for the author's upcoming book on roads/highways impact on wildlife.

Uno de los mejores libros que he leído, definitivamente no es para todo el mundo pero si te gusta aprender sobre algo muy importante, de lo que probablemente no sabes casi nada. Cómpralo. Ben Goldfarb escribe el mejor libro de porque encontró la mejor de la historias.

I used to drag my canoe over beaver dams and curse the little rodents that laid those impediments. I hated them for making me stick my feet in the squishy and probably leech infested mud of the stream. I had a habit of slapping my paddle hard on the water as I left, hoping the beavers translated it as a full-throated F U to their inconvenient domicile.
Now I've read this book by Ben Goldfarb and instead, when I'm on a hike or a trial run, I'm looking at pristine swift rivers skipping over rocks and thinking "shouldn't a beaver be there?"
Ben Goldfarb wrote such a well researched tribute to the rodent engineers of North America and Europe. He peeled back the fog separating us from remembering the wet, swampy glory of a North American teeming with beavers in every river on our landmass. Then he showed us a future we can build together, beavers and "beaver believers", by noting all the good work that beavers do when beavers do as beavers do.
As I read about climate change in a reading club I put together. I realise this book choice by a friend to read together with her was such a timely one for that group. Beavers seem to have answers we need...

I absolutely love this book. If you are at all interested in beavers, it is a must. Even if you are not, the descriptions of the environmental advantages of a ‘beavered’ landscape will convince you. Beautifully written with lots of useful references.
