Wolves: A Wildlife Handbook

by Kim Long

A combination of illustrated field guide, fact book, andfolklore collection, "Wolves" is a new kind of wildlifebook. This concise, illustrated handbook presents an accurate,informative portrait of wolves in their natural habitat, along with anexamination of their relationship to man.Admired by some and hated by others, wolves have been the focus of anastonishlingly passionate political struggle over the past fewyears. Endangered and all but exterminated, these predators are nowreturning to habitats from which they had completely disappeared. Withconservationists insisting that wolves are needed to controlburgeoning populations of elk and deer, and with ranchers insistingthat their livestockand livelihoodswill be in danger, anobjective, comprehensive (yet comprehensible) examination of wolves isneeded and timely. Fact, fiction, history, and wildlife reference,"Wolves" is the first user-friendly guide to this species.

A fairly quick and easy read. Although I was hoping for something a bit more in depth, this book covers a lot of ground on the history, behavior and anatomy of wolves, including brief mentions of some cool wolf legends.
