Summary:
"Shortlisted for the NYPL's 2024 Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism Finalist for the Reading the West Book Award in Nonfiction. Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, but we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. Here, Ben Goldfarb delves into the new science of
road
ecology
to explore
how
roads have transformed
our
world. Millions of animals are killed by cars each day in the US alone, and roads fragment wildlife populations into inbred clusters, disrupt migration for creatures from antelope to salmon, allow invasive plants to spread and even bend the arc of evolution itself. But
road
ecologists are also seeking innovative solutions: Goldfarb meets with conservationists building bridges for mountain lions and tunnels for toads, engineers deconstructing logging roads, and citizens working to undo the havoc highways have wreaked upon cities. A sweeping, spirited and timely investigation into
how
humans have altered the natural world, Crossings also shows us
how
to create a better
future
for all living beings."--From publisher.
