Summary: Great book!
Review: I was wary about hiking in mountain lion country, but this book reassured me and gave me great tips on how to avoid an encounter as well as what to do in the event of an encounter.
Rating:
Summary: Informative, Excellent
Review: Not quite as 'cut-to-the-chase' as its sister- Falcon publication "Bear Aware", "Mountain Lion Alert" nonetheless does an equally effective job providing key facts on Mountain Lion attacks(including a break down by area for the past 100 years), its physiology and habits as a predator, identifying tracks and signs, dispelling the usual myths about the animal, handling encounters and travelling safety in Cougar Country.Its a bit more Q & A format than "Bear Aware" but still presents alot of key info in a short, easy read. Excellent.

Summary: Terrific, easy reading, guide to mountain lions.
Review: Steve Torres has written an excellent easy reading and interesting guide to living safely in and near mountain lions and their habitat. The author included current information about lion history, biology, and behavior, as well as several chapters explaining step by step procedures to protect people, runners and bike riders, property, pets, children and livestock. His writing is consistant with other professional writings and is presented in a unbiased manner with enough scientific information to please mountain lion research enthusiasts, and simple enough for more novice readers. The book can be read is a few sittings and the material can be referenced in the future.
