Out Among the Wolves: Contemporary Writings on the Wolf

by John A. Murray (editor), Adolph Murie, Aldo Leopold

Where once many viewed the gray wolf, the red wolf, and the Mexican wolf merely as predators, threats to livestock and people alike, today the wolf is receiving protection, no longer regarded simply as a shadow creature to be chased from the landscape of North America. Out Among The Wolves gathers some of the best writings on the wolf over the past half-century from well-known scientists, naturalists, and authors. These voices provide thoughtful insights into this mythic creature and give passionate testimony to the importance of preserving the wolf's place in the wild.

This is a wonderful collection of all kinds of writings on wolves. Scientists, Naturalist, Authors and a Poet. I'll be honest I didn't read every offering found in the book because some of them were more technical than what I was looking for. The entries I did read I loved. There is a bias towards the wolf over ranchers, and energy companies in this book, but I'm personally biased to it as well so I didn't mind. Each entry is short only a few pages each so you can take the book in doses if that's your preference. I left it happy and added some authors to my list of to-reads.
