WHEN MAN BECOMES PREY: FATAL ENCOUNTERS WITH NORTH AMERICA’S MOST FEARED PREDATORS
Book ID/图书代码： 05170014B68604
English Summary/英文概要： Sam Ives’s family set up camp, cooked dinner, cleaned up and packed their gear away, and climbed into their multi-chambered tent to sleep. It was a great end to Father’s Day. Eleven-year-old Sam crawled into the smaller compartment of the two-room tent. Without his parents knowing it, Sam ate a granola bar and placed the empty wrapper in a pocket of the tent. Sometime during the night, a black bear entered the campsite, ripped open the side of the tent where Sam slept, grabbed the boy, and killed him. His parents heard a noise but were unable to find Sam. Terrified, they immediately called for help and a search was quickly conducted. Sam’s body was found about 400 yards from the campsite.
Unfortunately, Sam’s story is not uncommon--every year there are numerous reports of predator attacks on humans, many of them resulting in fatalities. When Man Becomes Prey examines the details of fatal predator attacks on humans, providing an opportunity to learn about the factors and behaviors that led to attacks. The predators profiled in the book include black bears, grizzly bears, mountain lions, coyotes, and gray wolves--the first time all five species have been included in one volume. Compelling narratives of conflicts involving these top predators are accompanied by how-to information for avoiding such clashes.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 萨姆·艾福思一家搭好了营帐，烹饪并享用了晚餐，随后他们打扫干净后将衣物都收好，爬进了有着多个隔间的帐篷里开始睡觉。这本该是父亲节完美一天的结束。11岁的萨姆爬进了2室帐篷里较小的那个房间。父母谁也不知道，萨姆吃了一根燕麦条并将空包装纸放在了帐篷的一个口袋里。夜里，一只黑熊进入了营地，它撕开了萨姆所睡的那一侧的帐篷掳走了男孩并杀害了他。萨姆的父母听到了声响却无法找到萨姆，惊恐的父母立刻打电话寻求帮助，很快便开始了一场搜救。人们在距离营地400英尺的地方发现了萨姆的尸体。
很不幸的是，萨姆的故事其实是很常见的----每年都会上报无数起像这样的肉食动物袭击人类的案件，其中的许多起都导致了致命的伤害。《当人成为猎物》详细的讲述了可怕的肉食动物袭击人类的过程，从而让读者们有机会了解是怎样的一些因素和行为会导致这样的袭击案件的发生。本书中记录的肉食动物包括黑熊、大灰熊、山狮、郊狼、灰狼等----这是五个物种首次出现在同一本书册中。书中对与这些顶级的肉食动物相关的冲突描绘得栩栩如生，此外，还将提供如何避免这样的事故发生的相关信息。（DC）
