Wild Neighbors is broken into two major parts. The first section of the book deals with general wildlife information, understanding, and history. It's a great introduction to thinking about the animals that surround us as part of our environment rather than pests we have to deal with. There are a number of resources on how to manage life with animals and what to do when seeking outside help.

The second part of the book is broken up into specific animals. I was pleased to find a section on raccoons since they have caused me the most trouble recently. The suggestions given on managing the animals are realistic and guilt-free. I definitely plan to try the hot sauce as a deterrent for raccoons and making sure to clear the are of tempting raccoon meals.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who lives in an area with wildlife (that's just about all of you!). Even if you're not dealing with a problem, it's still a great book for learning to look at the animals in our lives differently.… (meer)
