Dan Flores is A. B. Hammond Professor Emeritus of Western History at the University of Montana. A distinguished historian of the American West, he is the author of the best-selling books Coyote America and American Serengeti. Daniel had the opportunity to interview him back when those books were published, and he's pleased to be talking with him now about his latest book, Wild New World, The Epic Story of Animals and People in America. Dan is a uniquely gifted environmental historian, and this was on full display in American Serengeti where he wrote about North America\u2019s incredible late Pleistocene bestiary, a topic we find incredibly compelling. If you\u2019ve listened to the show for a while you\u2019ve no doubt figured that out about us. When the topic of North America 10,000 years ago comes up, we just can\u2019t resist it. Dan\u2019s newest book is even more ambitious in its scope, beginning with the comet that ended the reign of the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago, and taking us up through to the present and even into the future. Daniel really enjoyed this interview with Dan, but if he had one regret, it's that he hadn\u2019t finished the book before they spoke. So, it\u2019s his hope to bring him back soon to discuss it further. But for now, this interview is incredible, and we trust you\u2019ll really enjoy it. If you haven\u2019t read his books before, we highly recommend you do. He\u2019s not just a great author, but an important one. And understanding the past he writes about is \u2014 in our opinion \u2014 crucial to understanding both where we are today, and where the future might carry us.
