Sinopsis

¿Debería alentarse o desalentarse la caza? ¿La creciente urbanización, y nuestra posterior pérdida de contacto con el mundo natural afectan negativamente nuestra salud, felicidad y comportamiento? ¿Es posible que iniciar a los jóvenes a la caza pueda aliviar algunos de los males de la sociedad Combinando sus experiencias e historias personales, junto con su investigación?, Gibbins dice que sí a estas preguntas, y con el estilo de un cuento nacido en la naturaleza. Eller trata al lector a sus razones por qué. La vida es, en su propia esencia y carácter, un misterio terrible: todo el asunto de vivir matando y comiendo. Pero es una actitud infantil decir no a la vida con todo su dolor, decir que esto es algo que no debería haber sido.

Reseña del editor

Should hunting be encouraged or discouraged? Does growing urbanization -and our subsequent loss of contact with the natural world negatively affect our health, happiness and behaviour? Is it possible that initiating youth to hunting might alleviate some of society's ills? Combining his personal experiences and stories, along with his research, Gibbins says yes to these questions, and with the style of a natural-born storyteller treats the reader to his reasons why. Life is, in its very essence and character, a terrible mystery - the whole business of living by killing and eating. But it is a childish attitude to say no to life with all its pain, to say that this is something that should not have been. -Joseph Campbell Pre-eminent, Professor, Writer and Scholar.
