Synopsis
The American mountain goat's life and fortunes may be the least well-understood among the continent's large mammals. In its rugged mountain realm of the western United States and Canada, few people have glimpsed these extraordinary mountaineers up close.
Through the eyes and lens of field biologist and photographer Bruce Smith, Life on the Rocks offers an intimate portrayal of this remarkable animal. More than 100 color photographs and accounts of Smith's personal experiences living in Montana's Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area accompany descriptions of the American mountain goat's natural history. Smith explores the physical and behavioral adaptations that enable these alpine athletes to survive a host of dangers, including six-month-ling winters, scarce food sources, thunderous avalanches, social strife, and predators like wolves, bears, lions, wolverines, and eagles. Smith also details the challenges these animals face as their territory is threatened by expanding motorized access, industrial activities, and a warming climate.
Life on the Rocks showcases the elegance and charm of this little-known creature dwelling in some of North America's most remote, unforgiving, and spectacular wildlands.
Winner of two National Outdoor Book Awards in the Nature & Environmental Writing and Design and Artistic Merit categories.
