Overview

With the kind of feeling generally reserved for more photogenic animals, Mills describes here the world of beavers, their unusual pacificism and vegetarianism, their engineering feats, their better-than-human conservation of natural resources. He shows that no animal ever contributed more to civilization or was itself more civilized.
