COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Extremely educational and emotional submitted by tbbrown76 on July 15, 2019, 10:37pm I cried when one of my favorites dies. Amazing stories of a wolf pack (several, actually) after their reintroduction to Yellowstone and their encounters with humans. Highly recommended, especially for Environmental Science folk.

Insightful and surprising submitted by severian on June 30, 2021, 9:14pm Expertly told, and packs an emotional punch that is very subtle and well earned. I learned a ton about wolves; some of the best nature reading I’ve done this year.
