Cry Wild celebrates the life of the late Canadian naturalist
and wildlife storyteller RD Lawrence, whose adventures in the Canadian
wilderness have been published in 26 countries and in 15 languages.
RD Lawrence's many books take us to
animal habitats far from humans; to the boreal forests of North
America alive with puma, beaver, bear, timber wolves and eagles, to
the frigid waters of the Pacific Northwest where orcas thrive, and
to the sharks of the Red Sea.
Readers of all ages have been enlightened and fascinated by RD
Lawrence's real-life encounters with these marine and land animals. We
glimpse not only how they interact with a human, but how they behave
in their quest to survive and procreate.
From RD Lawrence we gain a deeper understanding of nature’s workings -
that animals kill for food, never conquest; and that they balance
their population with their needs and their environment.
From such behaviours, humankind can, and must, apply valuable lessons
if it chooses to survive the 21st century. |
