During a time when most wild animals are experiencing decline in the face of development and climate change, the intrepid mountain lion—also known as a puma, a cougar, “ghost cat,” and by many other names—has experienced reinvigoration as well as expansion of territory.
"My own experience tells me that Rewilding requires that we rewild our own hearts and minds first, to focus on what and who’s gone missing. This book is the story of many who spend their lives seeking answers to these questions and making the complicated, exacting and long-term commitment that honors what they discover." —Kristine M. Tompkins, Founder and President, The Tompkins Foundation
"Wild America - rugged, remote, rich with wildlife. But also highly urbanized, criss-crossed with roads, fences, and towns. Jim Williams brilliantly showcases this contrast of tame and untamed - and the possibility still contained within it - through the eyes of the puma on its journey across the Americas." —Julie Kunen, Vice President of the Americas Program, Wildlife Conservation Society
“This book is a prime example of Jim Williams’ dedicated effort to inform and enlighten a broad audience of the ecological and cultural importance of this charismatic apex carnivore.” —Maurice Hornocker, Founder/Director, Selway Institute, Inc.
Path of the Puma is now available on Audible, Apple Books, Google Play and Audion Books. The audiobook is wonderfully narrated by the author — Jim Williams.
