Shadow Mountain
by: Askins, Renee
A memoir of wolves, a woman and the wild. After forming an intense bond
with Natasha, a wolf cub she raised as part of her undergraduate research,
Renee Askins was inspired to found the Wolf Fund. As head of this grassroots
organization, she made it her goal to restore wolves to Yellowstone National
Park, where they had been eradicated by man over seventy years before.
Here, Askins recounts her courageous fifteen-year campaign, wrangling
along the way with Western ranchers and their political allies in Washington,
enduring death threats and surviving the anguish of illegal wolf slayings
to ensure that her dream of restoring Yellowstone's ecological balance
would one day be realized. Told in powerful, first-person narrative, Shadow
Mountain is the awe-inspiring story of her mission and her impassioned
meditation on our connection to the wild. 321 pages

Walker's Carnivores Of The World
by: Nowak, Ronald
From the dwarf mongoose to the polar bear, carnivores are at once respected
and misunderstood, invoking both fear and curiosity in the humans with
whom they share their world. This comprehensive guide, featuring 225 illustrations,
covers the world's eight terrestrial families of carnivores. Each generic
account comprises scientific and common names, number and distribution
of species, physical attributes, measurements, hunting and social activity,
reproduction, habitat, population dynamics, longevity, and status of threatened
species. A thought-provoking overview by David W. Macdonald and Roland
W. Kays is packed with results of the latest field and laboratory research
on topics ranging from evolutionary history to the adaptive value of fur
patterns. Emphasizing the interplay of social life, morphology, and predatory
behavior, it provides an up-to-date panorama of the world's carnivores.

War Against the Wolf: America's Campaign to Exterminate the Wolf
by: McIntyre, Rick
Brings together more than 100 historical documents, journal entries, essays,
and letters. Among the first acts of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Bay Colony
was to set a bounty on wolves: first a penny for a pelt, then four bushels
of corn for a mere scrap of fur. Succeeding generations of Americans followed
the Pilgrims' lead, until by the middle of the 20th century the wolf was
driven to the verge of extinction nearly everywhere outside Alaska. Rick
McIntyre, a seasonal park ranger at Denali, Yellowstone, and other wolf-populated
areas, has spent years documenting the behavior of living wolves. Here
he turns to the sad task of documenting America's destruction of the wolf,
a legacy that we may finally be able to undo with the reintroduction of
Canis lupus to the wild. 496 pgs.

Wolf
by: Greeley, Maureen
Throughout recorded history, the wolf has been given an almost human aura.
Legend tells of Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome, being suckled by
a wolf; fairy tales revolve around Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? Movies
have heavily-made-up actors playing The Wolfman. What has caused fear
of this noble animal is the creature's obvious intelligence. One look
into those bright golden eyes and the realization is clear: Here is a
worthy friend...or foe. This spectacular book is filled with unforgettable
photographs that will forever change the wolf's image...plus sprightly,
highly informative text that traces the wolf's evolution and current endangered
status. A triumph in pictorial and editorial elegance! 144 pgs.

Wolves
by: Savage, Candace
Ninety-seven color images by outstanding wildlife photographers and a
thoroughly researched, illuminating text explore the history, life cycle,
and true nature of wolves worldwide. Author Candace Savage traces the
global history of wolves and then focuses specifically on the North American
wolf, exploring the mythology and negative stereotypes of wolves, as well
as equally erroneous "Disneyfied" images. Describing their true
behaviors, she tells us why wolves have become symbols of vitality and
wilderness and alerts us to the perils they face in North America.The
extraordinary gallery of images - by such outstanding North American wildlife
photographers as Art Wolfe, Jim Brandenburg, Peter J. McLeod, Rolf O.
Peterson, Erwin and Peggy Bauer, and Karen Hollet - includes dramatic
shots of wolves hunting musk oxen and deer, interacting within the hierarchy
of the pack, and rearing their young. 159 pgs.
