Adam Hart, a biologist, investigates the complex relationships between humans and predators and explores what happens when humans become prey. He busts myths and explores the science behind such encounters, revealing that animals have far more to fear from us than we do from them. By probing the latest conservation science, Hart aims to conserve the world's predators and live safely alongside them.

The predators that can hunt, kill, and eat us occupy a unique place in the human psyche, and for good reason. Whether it's lions in Africa, tigers in India, or sharks in the world's oceans, we are fascinated by and often terrified of predators. Animals that can hunt, kill, and eat us occupy a unique place in the human psyche, and for good reason. Predation forms a big part of our evolutionary history, but in the modern world, many people live alongside animals that can, and sometimes do, make them prey. In The Deadly Balance, biologist Adam Hart explores the complex relationships we have with predators and investigates what happens when humans become prey. From big cats to army ants, via snakes, bears, wolves, crocodiles, piranhas, and more, Hart busts some myths and explores the science behind such encounters. Despite their fearsome and often wildly exaggerated reputations, these animals have far more to fear from us than we do from them. By probing the latest conservation science, Hart explores how we might both conserve the world's predators and live safely alongside them.
