Out Among the Wolves combines writings from some of the best known contemporary writers on wolves in one book. Every essay combines facts with great writing. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about wolves, for the love of them, or knowledge

5.0 out of 5 stars An Eye-Opener, October 7, 2000

This review is from: Out Among the Wolves: Contemporary Writings on the Wolf (Paperback)
I've always harbored a subconscious guilt whenever I thought about wolves in North America...I knew we'd trumped-up the danger they presented to us, in order to rid the wilderness of their threat to our fat, stupid livestock. Meanwhile we systematically slaughtered their age-old prey, leaving them to starve or become criminals. The clear, poignant and often beautiful writings collected in this book helped me understand consciously what that universal guilt is...and what I feel I must do to redeem my part in it. I must support programs to preserve what Wilderness is left, and return to it the species we have so ruthlessly extirpated. (Wait 'till you read what we did! And for how long! Yipes!) And while teaching me all this, John A. Murray reminded me how wonderful a writer, say, Aldo Leopold is...or introduced me to Edward Hoagland (WOW...thought he was a painter or something. He sure can write!) or Farley Mowat (Knew he wrote. Never knew how well!) Well worth reading!
