A fascinating look at foxes and their behaviors as well as their ability to seamlessly adapt the the changing world around them.

Very educational for a fox lover like me and managed to find a good balance between wildlife advocate and admitting to problems that exist when humans and wild animals coexist in the same space.

Loved the topic, but the editing, please! It is very hard for me to read a book with a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. It is just so distracting, and this book just really deserves a great editor, because the writing is fine otherwise!

I am firmly in the "love them" camp when it comes to foxes and I really enjoyed reading The Hidden World of the Fox.
Ecologist Adele Brand covers their evolution, cultural history, and philosophical questions alongside her personal experience from her scientific studies and rescue work with foxes.
Unlike the formal writing style that hampers many academics writing for a lay audience, Brand writes with the deft of a novelist, meaning this is a heartfelt, poetic and personable read.
The only thing letting the book down is the lack of pictures which would have added greatly to the descriptions.
Nonetheless, this would make a great holiday season gift for the fox-lover in your life.
