In the Shadow of a Rainbow: The True Story of a Friendship Between
Man and Wolf
by: Leslie, Robert Franklin
In 1970, a young Indian beached his canoe near the author's Babine Lake
campsite in the backwoods of British Columbia. Night after night the men
talked & gradually, the young Indian told the remarkable story of
his devotion to a pack of timber wolves & their legendary female leader
Nahani. He had first met the magnificent silver she-wolf six summers before.
From the beginning a bond existed between them & it gre to amazing
proportions. When the black frosts forced the Indian to return to civilization,
he determined to search for Nahani, to find the wolf & her pack before
trappers & bounty hunters could destroy them. During the harsh months
of winter & throughout two summers he searched, always wondering if
Nahani would recognize him. Finally, in the vast wilderness, he learned
the meaning of the Indian saying, "When anything strengthens a bond
of friendship, the friends have walked in the shadow of a rainbow."

Keepers of the Wolves: The Early Years of Wolf Recovery in Wisconsin
by: Thiel, Richard
It was 1978, and there had been no resident timber wolves in Wisconsin
for twenty years. Still, packs were active in neighboring Minnesota, and
there was the occasional rumor from Wisconsin’s northwestern counties
of wolf sign or sightings. Had wolves returned on their own to Wisconsin?
Richard Thiel, then a college student with a passion for wolves, was determined
to find out. Thus begins Keepers of the Wolves, Thiel’s tale of his
ten years at the center of efforts to track and protect the recovery of
wolves in Northern Wisconsin. From his early efforts as a student enthusiast
to his departure in 1989 from the post of wolf biologist for the Department
of Natural Resources, Thiel conveys the wonder, frustrations, humor, and
everyday hard work of field biologists, as well as the politics and public
relations pitfalls that so often accompany their profession. We share
in the excitement as Thiel and his colleagues find wolf tracks in the
snow, howl in the forest night and are answered back, learn to safely
trap wolves to attach radio collars, and track the packs’ ranges
by air from a cramped Piper Cub. We follow the stories of individual wolves
and their packs as pups are born and die, wolves are shot by accident
and by intent, ravages of canine parvovirus and hard winters take their
toll, and young adults move on to new ranges. Believing he had left his
beloved wolves behind, Thiel takes a new job as an environmental educator
in central Wisconsin, but soon wolves follow. By 1999, there were an estimated
200 timber wolves in 54 packs in Wisconsin. 227 pgs.

Never Cry Wolf
by: Mowat, Farley
A gripping narrative of a conservationist's life among the wolves in the
middle of the artic prairie. Hordes of bloodthirsty wolves are slaughtering
the arctic caribou, and the government's Wildlife Service assigns naturalist
Farely Mowat to investigate. Mowat is dropped alone onto the frozen tundra,
where he begins his mission to live among the howling wolf packs and study
their waves. Contact with his quarry comes quickly, and Mowat discovers
not a den of marauding killers but a courageous family of skillful providers
and devoted protectors of their young. As Mowat comes closer to the wolf
world, he comes to fear with them on onslaught of bounty hunters and government
exterminators out to erase the noble wolf community from the Arctic. Never
Cry Wolf is one of the brilliant narratives on the myth and magical world
of wild wolves and man's true place among the creatures of nature. "We
have doomed the wolf not for what it is, but for what we deliberately
and mistakenly perceive it to be -- the mythological epitome of a savage,
ruthless killer -- which is, in reality, no more than the reflected image
of ourself."

Of Wolves & Men
by: Lopez, Barry Holstun
Reveals the uneasy interaction between wolves and civilization over the
centuries, and the wolf's prominence in our thoughts about wild creatures.
Drawing on an astonishing array of literature, history, science, and mythology
as well as considerable personal experience with captive and free-ranging
wolves, Lopez argues for the necessity of the wolf's preservation and
envelops the reader in its sensory world, creating a compelling picture
of the wolf both as real animal and as imagined by man. A scientist might
perceive the wolf as defined by research data, while an Eskimo hunter
sees a family provider much like himself. For many Native Americans the
wolf is also a spiritual symbol, a respected animal that can make both
the individual and the community stronger. With irresistible charm and
elegance, Of Wolves and Men celebrates scientific fieldwork, dispels folklore
that has enabled the Western mind to demonize wolves, explains myths,
and honors indigenous traditions, allowing us to further understand how
this incredible animal has come to live so strongly in the human heart.

Part Wild: One Woman's Journey with a Creature Caught Between the
Worlds of Wolves and Dogs
by: Terrill, Ceiridwen
The unforgettable story of Ceiridwen Terrill's journey with a creature
whose heart is divided between her bond to one woman and her need to roam
free. When Terrill adopts a wolfdog—part husky, part gray wolf—named
Inyo to be her protector and fellow traveler, she is drawn to Inyo’s
spark of wildness; compelled by the great responsibility, even danger,
that accompanies the allure of the wild; and transformed by theextraordinary
love she shares with Inyo, who teaches Terrill how to carve out a place
for herself in the world. Over almost four years, Terrill and Inyo’s
adventures veer between hilarious and heartbreaking. There are peaceful
weekends spent hiking in snowy foothills, mirthful romps through dirty
laundry, joyful adoptions of dog companions, and clashes brought on by
the stress of caring for Inyo, insatiable without the stimulation of a
life lived outdoors. Forced to move and accommodate the complaints of
fearful neighbors and the desires of her space-craving wolfdog, Terrill
must confront the reality of what she has done by trying to tame a part-wild
animal. Driven to understand the differences between dogs and wolves,
Terrill spent five years interviewing genetics experts, wolf biologists,
dog trainers, and wolf rescuers in the United States, Germany, Hungary,
Sweden, and Russia. The fascinating results of her investigation make
Part Wild as informative as it is moving. 274 pgs
