Adding new dimension to the notion of recycling, Montgomery relates her own encounters with road-killed animals, sometimes with the explicitness of a trained biologist, while asking researchers and others, “How do you use roadkill?” She introduces readers to curators of “wet” and “dry” natural history museum collections, a New York “rogue taxidermist” who turns specimens into art, workers at a wounded wild animal rehab center, and, yes, a dedicated roadside forager.
