 land: How One Weird Rodent Made America\nBeginning with the early trans-At
 lantic trade in North America\, Leila Philip traces the beaver’s profoun
 d influence on our nation’s early economy and feverish western expansion
 \, which gave the country its first corporations and multi-millionaires. I
 n her pursuit of this compellingly wonderful rodent\, she introduces us to
  people whose lives are devoted to the beaver\, including a Harvard scient
 ist from the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana\, who uses drones to create 
 3-dimensional images of beaver dams\; and an environmental restoration con
 sultant in the Chesapeake nicknamed the “beaver whisperer.”\nWhat emer
 ges is a poignant personal narrative\, a startling portrait of the secreti
 ve world of the contemporary fur trade\, and an engrossing ecological and 
 historical investigation of these heroic animals who\, once trapped to the
  point of extinction\, have returned to the landscape as one of the greate
 st conservation stories of the twentieth century. Beautifully written and 
 impeccably researched\, BEAVERLAND reveals the profound ways in which one 
 odd animal and the trade surrounding it has shaped history\, culture\, and
  our environment.\nYou can find the book here\, or borrow from your local 
 library.\nDescription:\nJoin us as we slow down to read a book each month.
  The Nature Institute will host a book club each  month featuring authors
  and titles that give us a deeper understanding of the world around us. We
  will meet to discuss the chosen book. We will gather together at the Miss
 issippi Sanctuary Office where we can enjoy a view of the Mississippi Rive
 r and maybe catch a glimpse of an eagle or two. \nProgram Fees:\nFree\, d
