About this title

Synopsis

In the spring of 1983, award-winning field biologist, R.D. Lawrence, traveled to Michigan's Upper Peninsula to live among and observe a captive pack of untamed wolves. The result is an extraordinary look inside the society of a much-maligned, much-persecuted animal.

Can wolves teach us humans valuable lessons about ourselves? RD Lawrence believes they can, and that wolves provide a much closer model of human behavior than do primates. Told through anecdotes and personal observations of wolves in the wild and in captivity, he demolishes old myths about wolf aggression, and upholds the wolf and the wolfpack as the ultimate stabilizer of nature demanding our respect. Illustrated with photos.
