I am pleased to have my review of Gavin Van Horn’s book The Way of the Coyote published in Humanimalia: Volume 11, Number 2, Spring 2020. The entire review can be found here.

Here is a quote from the review:

In fact, the most eloquent and powerful sections of the book, of which there are many, emerge from his journeys on foot within and through a particular place, his present home, Chicago. Van Horn sees this book as a search for what he calls an urban land ethic, and gathers support from these specific experiences involving animals who have made Chicago their home, and sometimes the people who are caring for these urban wilds through preservation, restoration, and ‘reconciliation ecology.’ —C. Gigliotti, Review of The Way of the Coyote.
