The New England region is filled with tradition, culture, and history. Some of that history is well-known, but other elements remain hidden or spoken about only in whispers. Hairy beasts that remind us of Bigfoot...large sea monsters that swallow ships whole...mythical creatures that taunt passersby - this history is explored through stories of experiences, both earthly and supernatural, that people have had with cryptids and wild creatures of unknown origin. From the White Mountains, to the lakes of Massachusetts, to the coasts of Maine, and Southern New England, tales abound of the odd, the strange, and the sublime that have been spotted in the backwoods and hillsides of New England. Read on and see if you believe in these curious creatures.

In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

"Just like humans, animals use their homes for shelter and to raise their young. Animal homes might be easy to see or they may be hidden (camouflaged) for protection. Some animals are great builders and other animals borrow homes that other animals have made. Different animals might just use natural places like caves or holes in trees to make a home. And some animals might even carry their home on their back! Sticks, mud, leaves, cotton, and grass are all things that animals might use to build a home. Whether by digging, spinning, building or borrowing, animal homes are as varied as the animals themselves. This is a perfect sequel to Mary Holland's Animal Anatomy and Adaptations series"--
