Summary: Not just about a Big Foot
Review: This is a tale that goes well beyond the immediate subject matter. Kumar uses a bi-pedal ape as the vehicle to express an interesting view on hunting, the Endangered Species Act, and the economic and social ramifications of the political "gaming" of these federal laws on both sides of the table. He easily could have used a Manatee or Snail Darter, less compelling but also good examples of how regulations play out in the real world. All in all this book works at many levels. It makes you think about these environmental regulations in a new way, absent finger pointing. Kumar just gives the facts from both sides, wrapped up in an entertaining story that is a real page turner. Not the usual kind of book that I read, but I'm glad that it was recommended to me. A top notch story for a first effort. When can we get more from him?
