Publisher's Synopsis
"Thousands of years ago, Kansas was a place where incredible beasts roamed the countryside. It still is. A Kansas bestiary presents Kansas animals as you've never imagined them, fifteen portraits in word and image assembled from deep time to present day, offering fantastic yet true-to-life views of our contemporary wild neighbors. Don't be fooled by a quick look. Savor the selections and you will find that art and science, prose and poetry yield surprising connections between familiar Kansas animals and every Kansan. A Kansas bestiary sparks a sense of awe, and helps us understand our own interconnectedness with the natural systems of the Sunflower State."--back cover.
