Before skyscrapers and smokestacks transformed the eastern United States, the region was home to an astonishing abundance of wildlife. Moore follows conservationists, biologists, hunters, and local communities working to return these animals to their native habitats. As wildlife begins an unlikely comeback, these efforts raise important questions about conservation, coexistence, and the meaning of wilderness in a modern landscape shaped by cities, suburbs, and highways.
