The recent publication of several books on the history and ecology of beavers (Castor canadensis and Castor fiber) illustrates a renewed interest in the construction activities of beavers and their impacts on landscapes. Over one hundred years ago, two popular books on these same topics were published, In Beaver World and The Romance of the Beaver. These books, their authors, and their legacies can still inform today’s readers interested in beavers, ecosystem engineering, and zoogeomorphology
