Big Library Reads promotional image for the title 'Wild New World' by Dan Flores. The book cover depicts an illustration of a wooly mammoth, and alongside the book is a blurb from Dayton Duncan, author of 'The National Parks: America's Best Idea', that reads "This is a magnificent achievement—a sweeping saga stretching across thousands of years. With his sharp eye for compelling anecdotes, Flores weaves an unfolding story that keeps you turning the pages.”
