More and more we hear stories of bears entering suburban neighborhoods, mountain lions attacking household pets and deer invading our backyard gardens. Our guest says that the problem is a result of two worlds colliding - rebounding nature and civilization's sprawl each moving in toward the other neither showing signs of slowing its advance.

Laura's guest is David Baron, Long-time Environmental and Science reporter for National Public Radio and author of the new book "The Beast in the Garden: A Modern Parable of Man and Nature."
