A search for the moose, the whole moose, and nothing but the moose

The book also covers the history of moose on Earth and the marked fluctuations in populations that have occurred over time. There are accessible chapters on moose diseases, moose and traffic, moose as a resource, and the surprising uses of moose as pets and dairy animals.

Reviews
“An engaging, informative, often funny, wide-ranging look at moose. ” — The StarPhoenix
“Of Moose and Men is at once informative and entertaining, the whole spectrum of a natural world filtered through a smart, quirky, caring man who knows that world better than any other human. " — Open Letters Monthly
"A charmingly unrestrained narrator presents chapter subtitles like 'More matters moosey,' offering a hodgepodge of information about the behemoth of the family Cervidae. From the historical to the biological, Haigh leaves no aspect of moose-bound lore uncovered. " — Publishers Weekly
