Moose-Cellania

This is a masterful combination of humor, popular culture, and education — all related to everyone’s favorite animal: the moose. Most of the book is about how humans have reacted to moose and the many odd things that have been done in the name of moose, from beer branding and the naming of U.S. Air Force squadrons to recipes for exotic cocktails. In addition to the late Bill Silliker’s fabulous photos of moose, there is serious animal behavior information about Alces alces written at a very accessible level, including such topics as mating habits, habitat range, and size and weight ranges.
