Paperback. Condition: Good. Wolves are some of the world's most charismatic and controversial animals, capturing the imaginations of their friends and foes alike. Highly intelligent and adaptable, they hunt and play together in close-knit packs, sometimes roaming over hundreds of square miles in search of food. Once teetering on the brink of extinction across much of the United States and Europe, wolves have made a tremendous comeback in recent years, thanks to legal protection, changing human attitudes, and efforts to reintroduce them to suitable habitats in North America.As wolf populations have rebounded, scientific studies of them have also flourished. But there hasn't been a systematic, comprehensive overview of wolf biology since 1970. In Wolves, many of the world's leading wolf experts provide state-of-the-art coverage of just about everything you could want to know about these fascinating creatures. Individual chapters cover wolf social ecology, behavior, communication, feeding habits and hunting techniques, population dynamics, physiology and pathology, molecular genetics, evolution and taxonomy, interactions with nonhuman animals such as bears and coyotes, reintroduction, interactions with humans, and conservation and recovery efforts. The book discusses both gray and red wolves in detail and includes information about wolves around the world, from the United States and Canada to Italy, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Israel, India, and Mongolia. Wolves is also extensively illustrated with black and white photos, line drawings, maps, and fifty color plates.Unrivalled in scope and comprehensiveness, Wolves will become the definitive resource on these extraordinary animals for scientists and amateurs alike. ?An excellent compilation of current knowledge, with contributions from all the main players in wolf research. . . . It is designed for a wide readership, and certainly the language and style will appeal to both scientists and lucophiles alike. . . . This is an excellent summary of current knowledge and will remain the standard reference work for a long time to come.??Stephen Harris, New Scientist ?This is the place to find almost any fact you want about wolves.??Stephen Mills, BBC Wildlife Magazine.…

Hardcover. First edition. Inscribed in the year of publication on the title page in blue ink: "Steve -- It's great seeing you again after all this time. David Mech, 12/5/03." With a foreword by George Rabb. From the jacket: "In Wolves, may of the world's leading experts provide state-of-the-art coverage of just about eveything you could want to know about these fascinating creatures. . Unrivaled in scope and comprehensiveness, Wolves will become the definitive resource on these extraordinary animals for scientists and amateurs alike." L. David Mech is senior research scientist for the US Geological Survey with a specialty in wolves, and he is the founder of the International Wolf Center. He is the author or co-author of eleven books on wolves and other wildlife. He was Durward Allen's graduate student at Purdue from 1958 to 1962 and helped launch the groundbreaking study of wolves and moose on Isle Royale. Starting in 1986 he then spent 25 summers observing wolves on large Ellesmere Island in northernmost Canada, in a sense replicating and expanding his experience at Isle Royale. Among other documentation of the Ellesmere wolves, he co-produced a film about his experience for National Geographic. His co-editor in this book, Luigi Boitani, is a professor of zoology at the Sapienza University of Rome, and president of the Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe.
