Fascinating and compassionate.

Lively.

Wide-ranging and absorbing.

A powerhouse of a book, a comprehensive and engaging study of the many ways that roads damage natural habitats.

A comprehensive guide.

Goldfarb writes early on that Crossings is "about how we escape" from this trap, a promise I clung to throughout the book.

Swallows, butterflies, vultures, cougars, and wombats take center stage in the drama of road ecology, the decades-long project of engineers, planners, scientists, and citizens to mitigate animal-car encounters.

Wide-ranging, fascinating.

Captivating.
