Works


Rewilding the World: Dispatches from the Conservation Revolution
The first definitive account of a visionary campaign to confront the biodiversity crisis: rewilding. Breathtaking in scope and ambition, rewilding aims to save species by restoring habitats, reviving migration corridors, and brokering peace between people and predators. Traveling with wildlife biologists and conservationists, Fraser reports on the vast projects that are turning Europe's former Iron Curtain into a greenbelt, creating transfrontier Peace Parks to renew elephant routes throughout Africa, and linking protected areas from the Yukon to Mexico and beyond.

God’s Perfect Child: Living and Dying in the Christian Science Church
A passionate expose of the dangers and delusions of religious zealotry, God’s Perfect Child is the first unvarnished account of one of America’s most controversial and least-understood religious movements.
