From the Inside Flap:
mate look at wolves in the wild, Candace Savage combines an authoritative text with stunning full-color photographs by the world's best wildlife photographers. The book begins by exploring the intense and ancient bond between people and wolves. Few species have been held in such contempt by humankind or persecuted with more devastating efficiency, yet wolves also have a special ability to kindle human sympathies, reminding us of our essential connection to wild places and wild lives.
Drawing on the most recent research, The World of the Wolf examines wolf society in all its complexity, focussing on pack structure, sex roles, and communication.

We humans are not alone on this planet. We are close kin to the lichens, the wind the stars; we are closest of kin to wolves. Through them, we are reminded that we too are creatures of nature. Through their inspiration, perhaps we can yet find the will to act on behalf of our own vital interests. By caring for wolves, we care for ourselves, body and spirit. -- Candace Savage
Candace Savage not only knows the "facts" about wolves, she understands them. Part well-researched current scientific knowledge, part impassioned plea for understanding and tolerance, this book is both accurate and affectionate. This is what wolves are really like, warts and all.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition. A revised edition of a 1988 work published under the title Wolves . Savage, a natural history writer (and award winner), examines the intricacies of wolf societies around the globe, pack structure, sex roles, communication, predatory relationships, and current conservation strategies. The intimate color photographs, however, are worth twice the volume's cost, capturing by lens such amazing spectacles as a mother nursing her young or completing a kill.
