A Must for Nature Lovers!

I bought this book for six dollars at chapters, I didn`t realize it would change my perceptions of the battle for the aglgonquin wolf! Long has the ontario Ministry of natural rescources neglected the speacial needs or the elusive, prosectuted animal:the wolf. Not long ago, bounties were placed on these animals and they were killed without pity or mercy. Whenever the wolves ventured out of the park they were killed, even the MNR officers took time to shoot a few yearlings. John and Mary uncover hard evidence to protect the wolf, despite being threatnened and joked at, they persued to protect the algonquin wolf. John`s unique research writing style and personal encounters with wolves, people and the park gives readers a first hand look at the wolf controversy. This book is a must for nature lovers!

Very well written and researched!

I thought this was a very well written book from two hard working and passionate biologists who are deeply concerned about the Algonquin wolves. I couldn't put the book down, it was so informative and fascinating. The book brings up many issues regarding wolf conservation, and is full of interesting facts about wolves and their prey. The many years of wolf research done by these two biologists in Algonquin Park really shows through. If you love wolves this book is a must for your collection.

excellent book

This book is a wonderful summation of one of the longest wolf studies ever. As a life-long visitor to Algonquin Park, it is a pleasure to learn about the wolves in and around the park. I never realized how many wolves were in that area. Although this is a wonderful book, I was disheartened by the hatred displayed by people towards these researchers and the beautiful wolves that they are studying.
