As many mountain lion attacks have occurred in the past ten years as in the hundred preceding. What's happening? Cougar populations are rebounding, but these wild cats have fewer and fewer places to live. This is the first unflinching look at what happens when cougars and people cross paths. Impossible to put down, Cat Attacks chronicles mountain lion attacks and encounters that have occurred in the last ten years in the West. These riveting stories of heroes and victims will tell you what to fear, what to ignore, and what to expect when we make room for the cat that is arguably America's most effective largest predator.

Authors

Jo is the author of the 2012 National Outdoor Book Award winner, "Anything Worth Doing." The book tells the true story about the idyllic and tragic journeys of two whitewater adventurers on the last long free whitewater river in the lower 48 states. "Bottom line, AWD is a love story," says Jo. "It's about two men who loved a river so much they couldn't be satisfied running it the ways thousands do every year. They had to find ways to make this river uniquely theirs." The book also received an Idaho Book Award Honorable Mention. Jo has contributed to the Washington Post, the Christian Science Monitor, Creative Nonfiction, Paddler Magazine, and others. She is a former whitewater raft guide, an obsessive researcher and a compulsive reviser. She holds a MA in English.
