About this book

Language: French

This book is more than just a monograph. It presents a synthesis of knowledge about the fox, but also the original results of the author, excerpts from field notes and tips for observation. The book seeks to place information about the fox in a more general biological and historical framework. Thus, the section on feeding discusses the relationship between predator and prey, and that relating to the relationship between man and fox assesses the chances of success of population control.

- The life of the fox structured into nine rigorous chapters, but with many references that aim to develop a systemic view of the topic.
- A new and extremely comprehensive chapter on the social behavior of an animal that was long thought to be solitary.
- Many photos and original figures supporting a high-level scientific text but written in simple language that will satisfy both the specialist and the amateur naturalist.

Summary in French:
Cet ouvrage est bien plus qu’une monographie. Il présente une synthèse des connaissances sur le renard, mais aussi des résultats originaux de l’auteur, des extraits de carnets de terrain et des conseils pour l’observation. Le livre cherche à placer les informations relatives au renard dans un cadre biologique ou historique plus général. Ainsi, la partie consacrée à l’alimentation aborde les relations entre prédateur et proie, et celle relative aux relations entre homme et renard évalue les chances de succès d’un contrôle des populations.

- La vie du renard égrenée en neuf chapitres structurés avec rigueur mais comprenant de nombreux renvois qui visent à développer une vision systémique de l'espèce.
- Un chapitre inédit et extrêmement complet sur le comportement social d'un animal que l'on a longtemps cru solitaire.
- De nombreuses photos et figures originales soutenant un texte de haut niveau scientifique mais écrit dans un langage simple qui satisfera autant le spécialiste que le naturaliste amateur.
