Summary: "Mammals of Mount Rainier National Park" by Merlin K. Potts and Russell K. Grater is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. The book provides a comprehensive examination of mammalian species residing within Mount Rainier National Park, exploring their behavior, habitats, and the ecological impact of human activity on wildlife communities. It aims to enhance the reader's understanding and appreciation of these animals in their natural environment. The opening of this work begins with a thoughtful foreword emphasizing the significance of national parks as sanctuaries for wildlife, unfettered by human encroachments. It outlines the history of mammal studies performed in the park, highlighting key historical expeditions since 1897, and establishes the necessity for an updated publication to compile accumulated research and data. The introductory sections also address the evolution of wildlife trends influenced by human actions and environmental changes, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of specific mammals found in the park. This combination of historical context and ecological insight forms a foundation for deeper ecological discussions that follow in the subsequent chapters.
