Fuzz
When Nature Breaks the Law
Book • 2021
In *Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law*, Mary Roach delves into the complex and often humorous world of human-wildlife conflicts.
She follows animal-attack forensics investigators, human-elephant conflict specialists, and other experts to understand how animals interact with human environments.
The book combines little-known forensic science and conservation genetics with engaging anecdotes, revealing as much about humanity as about nature’s lawbreakers.
Roach argues that humans are often both the problem and the solution in these conflicts, and her work offers hope for compassionate coexistence in our expanding human habitat.
