This week's guest on REPORT FROM SANTA FE is historian and author Dan Flores discussing his new book "Wild New World: The Epic Story of Animals and People in America."

Distinguished author Dan Flores’s ambitious history chronicles the epoch in which humans and animals have co-existed in the “wild new world” of North America—a place shaped both by its own grand evolutionary forces and by momentous arrivals from Asia, Africa, and Europe. With portraits of iconic creatures such as mammoths, horses, wolves, and bison, Flores describes the evolution and historical ecology of North America as never before.
