Baynes-Rock raises fundamental questions about private property, the fallacies of economics, and the wisdom of ecology. The challenges may be great, but at least this book presents ideas and possibilities that may help us face them. -Piers Locke, coeditor of Conflict, Negotiation, and Coexistence: Rethinking Human-Elephant Relations in South Asia Part memoir, part travel writing that introduces readers to unexpected landscapes filled with fascinating and well-drawn characters, part contribution to emerging discussions of multispecies ethnography, and part scholarly critique of the literature of domestication. Crocodile Undone is a stunning, compassionate, and thought-provoking study. -Nigel Rothfels, author of Elephant House

Quoting refreshingly from the writings of the great human ecologist Paul Shepard, Baynes-Rock outlines a four-step approach to reverse the course of the undoing while still utilizing agriculture to support human livelihood. Noted for earlier fieldwork in Africa . . . , Baynes-Rock again takes inspiration from native societies, particularly the society and culture of Aboriginal Australians. His thesis is unique, and the book is worthy of reading and discussion in a course on ecology or animal ethics, in addition to serving as a reference for faculty and graduate students. -J.
