Page Turner!

This is the absolutly best book I have ever read on Wolves! I could not put it down. I would say it read like a great novel, except it's all true. I sat and cried when the lone wolf was shot. Everyone should read this book before they go to Yellowstone!

A thorough, evenhanded, *enjoyable* account of wolves

Gary Ferguson's story of the first year after reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone captures both the human and animal drama of this important ecological event. It's also the most evenhanded of the books on wolves: although Ferguson is obviously a fan of the critters, he gives fair play to the very real concerns of opponents. His comprehensive knowledge -- the author lives near Yellowstone and has written a previous book, "Walking Down the Wild" about the area -- make this an informative as well as enjoyable read.
