In the Eye of the Wild begins with an account of the French anthropologist Nastassja Martin's near fatal run-in with a Kamchatka bear in the mountains of Siberia. Martin's professional interest is animism; she addresses philosophical questions about the relation of humankind to nature, and in her work she seeks to partake as fully as she can in the lives of the indigenous peoples she studies. Her violent encounter with the bear, however, brings her face-to-face with something entirely beyond her ken—the untamed, the nonhuman, the animal, the wild.

Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk).

Isegrim kehrt nach Deutschland zurück. Der Wolf wird leider nicht nur in Märchen als böse und hinterlistig beschrieben. Wahrscheinlicher ist aber, dass Isegrim von uns Menschen als Nahrungskonkurrent betrachtet und deshalb über Jahrtausende verfolgt wurde. Dabei war die Art früher auch in ganz Europa verbreitet, wurde jedoch in West- und Mitteleuropa weitgehend ausgerottet. Deutschland wurde erst Ende der 1990er Jahre wieder besiedelt. Wölfe haben schon frühzeitig Eingang in die Mythen und Märchen vieler Völker gefunden, sie zählen daher zu den bekanntesten Raubtieren.
