Just as carbon will persist for decades in rich meadows after beavers move on, this book's overall usefulness as a handy reference about all things beaver will also persist. * Rosemary Curley, Stratford,PE,Canada, CanadianField-Naturalist * Author InformationFrank Rosell is a Professor in behavioural ecology at the University of South-Eastern Norway where he has worked since 1994.
