“I have long admired the visceral storytelling and moral complexity of John Vaillant’s brilliant non-fiction about humankind’s tragically ambivalent relationship with the natural world.

The Jaguar’s Children is a beautifully rendered lament for an imperiled culture and the brave lives that would preserve it.
