"As humans encroach on wild places, encounters with animals--from bears, bison, mountain lions, and mice to turkeys, ticks, rats, and raccoons--have become increasingly commonplace. But, wait, what are the rules for facing a moose up close? Do you run from a coyote or stand your ground? How deadly, really, are black widow spiders, rattlesnakes, and sharks? Packed with expert tips, fascinating animal facts, and harrowing true tales, Look Big is a must-have survival guide for outdoor, urban, and suburban adventurers alike. If you have ever feared the approach of a grizzly, the spray of a skunk, or an army of cockroaches in the kitchen, this book is for you."
Review
Look Big is a must read for all of us living in a world where we are constantly surrounded by animals inside and outside of our home. It provides great information in what to do when we come across many different animals such as; deer, coyotes, bears, dogs, ants and even bats. Rachel manages to provide educational material with this book along side keeping it light and interesting with real life stories of other writers experiences too.
After reading this book I enjoyed learning that even deer can charge if provoked, and if you ever come across a moose while driving just to wait as it can charge you and your car but patience is the answer.
