Product Information

One of Audible's Best of 2021 One of AudioFile Magazine's Best Audiobooks of 2021 An Instant New York Times Bestseller #1 Los Angeles Times Bestseller #1 Indie Hardcover Nonfiction Bestseller A Washington Post and Publishers Weekly Best Nonfiction Book of 2021 Longlisted for the 2022 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction Join "America's funniest science writer" (Peter Carlson, Washington Post ), Mary Roach, on an irresistible investigation into the unpredictable world where wildlife and humans meet. What's to be done about a jaywalking moose? A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial. These days, as New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach discovers, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology. Roach tags along with animal-attack forensics investigators, human-elephant conflict specialists, bear managers, and "danger tree" faller blasters. Intrepid as ever, she travels from leopard-terrorized hamlets in the Indian Himalaya to St. Peter's Square in the early hours before the pope arrives for Easter Mass, when vandal gulls swoop in to destroy the elaborate floral display. She taste-tests rat bait, learns how to install a vulture effigy, and gets mugged by a macaque. Combining little-known forensic science and conservation genetics with a motley cast of laser scarecrows, langur impersonators, and trespassing squirrels, Roach reveals as much about humanity as about nature's lawbreakers. When it comes to "problem" wildlife, she finds, humans are more often the problemand the solution. Fascinating, witty, and humane, Fuzz offers hope for compassionate coexistence in our ever-expanding human habitat.

Reviews
"Roach is an observant and witty writer with an eye for detail and a passion for facts. As it turns out, she is also a remarkably skilled narrator with a pleasant mid-range voice. She reads with verve, and her phrasing and pacing keep the text moving while enabling our laughter or stunned amazement. Roach also re-creates accents, conversations, and speech patterns like the best mimic. What a delightful and informative listen." - AudioFile Magazine , Earphones Award Winner "An idiosyncratic tour with Roach as the wisecracking, ever-probing guide... My favorite moments, ultimately, weren't the funny ones, but those that reveal a bit of scientific poetry." Vicki Constantine Croke, New York Times Book Review "With her characteristic dry wit, [Roach] brings an intense fascination to the seldom discussed details and the at times absurd miscellany in the unexplored corners of unappreciated research... It is impossible not to smirk, chortle and sometimes outright belly laugh as you read her many wry asides and funny but fascinating footnotes... But the real trick Roach pulls off is to keep you laughing while at the same time making sure the earnest points come across." Tiffany O'Callaghan, New Scientist "Full of kernels of fascinating information... Her approach is informative and unpretentious, and she's always armed with a dry sense of humor. Roach will change the way you think about the great outdoors. What more could you ask for?" Emerson Malone, Buzzfeed "The book brims with Roach's irreverent humor, which particularly shines when she experiences human-animal conflict firsthand... A blend of modern science and history, with Roach's flair for spotting hidden absurdities... As another entry in Roach's canon of books, Fuzz stands tall (and hairy), educating as much as it entertains." Bethany Brookshire, Science News "Hilarious! With Fuzz , Mary Roach again takes us into an unfamiliar scientific realm, in this case the science of managing the conflicts between humans and the natural worldlethal leopards, rampaging elephants, jet-downing birds, even killer trees. It's an ever-widening conflict zone, but one that Ms. Roach gleefully mines for a multitude of bizarre facts that'll make you snort coffee through your nose." Erik Larson, bestselling author of The Splendid and the Vile "Bestseller Roach sheds light on nature's malefactors in this often funny, always provocative survey...Roach's writing is wry, full of heart, and loaded with intriguing facts...This eminently entertaining outing is another winner from Roach." Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This book is such a rich stew of anecdotes and lore that it's best savored slowly, bit by bit... No matter the situation, Roach approaches it with contagious enthusiasm." Alice Cary, BookPage (starred review)
