When animals break the law, human law, what happens? This is the thorny subject that science writer Mary Roach sets out to tackle, wrestling with questions like : How do you reason with a hungry Indian elephant? What are the consequences of humans encroaching on bear habitat. Who won the other battle of Midway? What do New Zealanders classify as a 'humane' trap. How does the Vatican handle its rat problem (and why his holiness doesn't release peace doves anymore) all told with her signature mixture of humour and curiousity.
