X-WR-CALDESC:True Story Book Club\n\nBeaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made 
 America by Leila Philip (352 p.)\n\nFrom award-winning writer Leila Philip
 \, Beaverland is a masterful work of narrative science writing\, a book th
 at highlights\, though history and contemporary storytelling\, how this we
 ird rodent plays an oversized role in American history and its future. She
  follows fur trappers who lead her through waist high water\, fur traders 
 and fur auctioneers\, as well as wildlife managers\, PETA activists\, Nati
 ve American environmental vigilantes\, scientists\, engineers\, and the co
 lorful group of activists known as beaver believers.\n \nBeginning with th
 e early trans-Atlantic trade in North America\, Leila Philip traces the be
 aver’s profound influence on our nation’s early economy and feverish weste
 rn expansion\, its first corporations and multi-millionaires. In her pursu
 it of this weird and wonderful animal\, she introduces us to people whose 
 lives are devoted to the beaver\, including a Harvard scientist from the B
 lackfeet Reservation in Montana\, who uses drones to create 3-dimensional 
 images of beaver dams\; and an environmental restoration consultant in the
  Chesapeake whose nickname is the “beaver whisperer”.\n \nWhat emerges is 
 a poignant personal narrative\, a startling portrait of the secretive worl
 d of the contemporary fur trade\, and an engrossing ecological and histori
 cal investigation of these heroic animals who\, once trapped to the point 
 of extinction\, have returned to the landscape as one of the greatest cons
 ervation stories of the 20th century. Beautifully written and impeccably r
 esearched\, Beaverland reveals the profound ways in which one odd creature
  and the trade surrounding it has shaped history\, culture\, and our envir
 onment.\n\n
