The Predator Paradox

I picked this book 'the Predator Paradox: Ending the War with Wolves, Bears, Cougars and Coyotes' as it was categorised under Science & Math. I was curious what science was about to bring to the ecological situation. Numbers are a very good lens to use on this problem of whos depleting what by their actions. With all the studies and statistics, 'perception-blight' hypothesis, 'compensatory mortality' show the fallacies that we are prone to without quantisation. Even putting a number on how much less time an animal spends foraging under the fear of a predator shows the role of predators.
