Overview
With more than 50 images printed in full color and in black and white, Wolf Walking is the first book to feature the extraordinary work of wildlife illustrator, Judi Rideout. Illuminating the art is text by Edwin Daniels that explores various aspects of the wolf in science, myth, and legend from many diverse cultures throughout history. Here we see the wolf both venerated and condemned. Also featured is a history of the wolf in America, from virtual extinction on the Western frontier to current attempts at repatriation in Yellowstone and other wilderness areas. Included are excerpts from renowned nature writers Barry Lopez, Farley Mowat, Jim Harrison, and the poet Robert Service, and nineteenth-century spot illustrations by Ernest Thompson Seton. For animal lovers, naturalists, or fans of this extraordinary animal, Wolf Walking will be fascinating reading.Book Details
