关于大型动物如何塑造人类社会(以及其他一些有趣的思考),David Quammen 的《Monster of God》是一本切题且精彩绝伦的读物,直到今天它依然是我读到过最引人入胜的书之一。
A somewhat relevant and fantastic read on how large animals have shaped society (and some other interesting thoughts), David Quammen's Monster of God, still remains one of the most fascinating reads I've managed to get my hands on, to this day.

Alpha predators like brown bears kill so few humans that they aren't worth the effort to chase down and exterminate (see Monster Of God by David Quammen). The real monsters are mosquitos and the disease bearing organisms they vector.
