Carnivorous Nights:On the Trail of the Tasmanian Tiger

Hey, Homes, have you read my sister Margaret's book yet? No? Get with it!

Here are some review snippets:

"A transfusion of youthful energy is delivered in this winning book by a pair of zany New York wildlife journalists ... [Carnivorous Nights] has a magical quality ... Ms. Mittelbach and Mr. Crewdson have written both an engrossing study of Darwinian natural selection and a gentle fairy tale."
-- The New York Times

"A top-drawer journey into the natural history of Tasmania from two Brooklyn-based nature writers....Neatly and wonderfully sews together natural science and travel yarn."
-- Kirkus Review (starred review)

"The quixotic quest at the heart of Carnivorious Nights is more than just endearing and engrossing, it's inspiring."
-- Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
