Al Cambronne's book examines America's hunt for ecological balance, the essence of wildness, and the growth of the 'deer-industrial complex.'Like many people writer Al Cambronne is fascinated by deer. He marvels at how Americans spend big money to hunt deer, live near deer, and repair automobiles damaged by deer. He also wondered how suburban sprawl and the number of deer - 30 million, a hundred times ago - have impacted ecosystemsFor his book Deerland, Cambronne interviewed dozens of botanists, ecologists, frustrated farmers and foresters, overworked body-shop owners, hunters, and deer enthusiasts. He gives readers an insider's tour of what he calls America's "deer-industrial complex," examining our history with whitetails, pinpoints where our ecological problems began, and asks tough questions about what it will take to restore the balance we've disrupted.
