 A beautiful, if at times unbearably sad account of wolves. August 12, 1999
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
For all those people out there who would love to hear the cry of a wild wolve, this is the story of how this priviledge was almost destroyed forever, and what we need to know to make sure it never is. Barry Lopez is a brave man to tell this tale.

 Not bad, but drags at times July 11, 1999

There is definitley a lot of thought provoking material in Lopez's book, like the placement of wolves in folklore, fables, and mythology, but at times it drags on in lenghly explanations and reads to much like a textbook.
a classic book on the nature of animals June 1, 1999

barry lopez traces the development of phobias concerning wolves and contrasts that with the true nature of this animal. by the end of this sensitively written and sound book on wolves you will come to admire them as he does. a classic for the naturalist.
Reading this book changed my perspective. April 19, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Barry Lopez sensitively portrays the true personality and nature of wolves, challenging long-held myths of their ferocity and menace to society. His book was my introduction to a continuing interest in this noble yet misunderstood animal. I am grateful to Mr. Lopez for opening my eyes and heart and leading me to becoming an advocate on behalf of the wolf and its well-being.
