520    American bison takes us on a journey into the bison's past
       and shares a compelling vision for its future, offering 
       along the way a valuable introduction to North American 
       prairie ecology. Lott explores the social life and 
       physiology of the bison, sharing stories about its 
       impressive physical prowess and fascinating relationships.
       Describing the entire grassland community in which the 
       bison live, he writes about the wolves, pronghorn, prairie
       dogs, grizzly bears, and other animals and plants, 
       detailing the interdependent relationships among these 
       inhabitants of a lost landscape. Lott also traces the long
       and dramatic relationship between the bison and Native 
       Americans, and gives a surprising look at the history of 
       the hide hunts that delivered the coup de grace to the 
       already dwindling bison population in a few short years. 
       Lott also dismantles many of the myths we have created 
       about these ways of life, and about the bison in 
       particular, to reveal the animal itself: ruminating, 
       reproducing, and rutting in its full glory. His portrait 
       of the bison ultimately becomes a plea to conserve its 
       wildness and an eloquent meditation on the importance of 
       the wild in our lives.
