a piece of the puzzle about wolves in our world by P. Pasda (usa) 5 Stars
March 13, 2010
I am a cancer patient with many side effects. I have deovtd my second career since cancer to the study of wolves. Collecting data and wolf books has shown me that each piece of the writing about wolves connects and makes a collective understanding of wolves and the human condition and how we approach sharing our world with wolves and other creatures in the environment. THis bok shows the readr how to understand the human approach to both control of where wolves live and how they live. It also opens the door to the intimate nature of the pack and how the wolves within a pack grow, learn and survive.

I brought this as a present for my husband and he loves it. It seems to be very informative about wolfs for those who are interested.

good introduction by Ying Lu (Detroit, MI United States) 4 Stars

I give this book a four star because it is only a good introduction to the study of wolves and their world. The facts presented are listed as if in a thesis paper, so it is not considered well written, and it did not tell me much I did not already know, even though I've never formally read any other books on Wolves. The illustrations are good and it is a good pointer for resources to look into if you are interested in pursuing studies in this awesome animal.

Wolf Almanac by Dolores J. Adams 5 Stars

This is the most comprehensive book on Wolves that I have read. It gives a lot more details. This is not just a story book.

Beautiful Graphics by S. Wagner (Lakebay, WA USA) 5 Stars
November 03, 2009
This book is really informative and beautiful. I could not have found a more detailed and beautifully photographed book on Wolves, and it is exactly what I was looking for. The hardcover book makes it a delight, a collector's item, and it would be a waste to use it merely as a coffee table book. It is simple to read, and nicely laid out, very professionally done. It gives such an intimate look into the lives of wolves, and is suitable for both amateurs and hardcore wolf-lovers.

Wolves: Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation
by L. David Mech (Editor), Luigi Boitani (Editor)

Wolves are some of the world's most charismatic and controversial animals, capturing the imaginations of their friends and foes alike. Highly intelligent and adaptable, they hunt and play together in close-knit packs, sometimes roaming over hundreds of square miles in search of food. Once teetering on the brink of extinction across much of the United States and Europe, wolves have made a tremendous comeback in recent years, thanks to legal protection, changing human attitudes, and efforts to...

The Wolf: The Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species
by L. David Mech (Author)

Since the dawn of history, no other living thing (save, possibly, the snake) has been as reviled by humankind as the wolf. Still, wolves and people have been drawn to each other since the beginning. Canis lupus bounds through our folklore, howls in our dreams, and--occasionally--competes with us on the hunt. As one zoologist imagines it: "Through the cold of winter the wolf made music in the mysterious darkness and sometimes, in curiosity, sat just beyond the dwindling circle of...
