The Yellowstone Wolves, the First Year: The First Year

Rating:
Summary: A thorough, evenhanded, *enjoyable* account of wolves
Review: Gary Ferguson's story of the first year after reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone captures both the human and animal drama of this important ecological event. It's also the most evenhanded of the books on wolves: although Ferguson is obviously a fan of the critters, he gives fair play to the very real concerns of opponents. His comprehensive knowledge -- the author lives near Yellowstone and has written a previous book, "Walking Down the Wild" about the area -- make this an informative as well as enjoyable read.
