Review
"A book on wolves by L. David Mech is always welcome, especially one with such excellent color photographs of both mature wolves and pups. No one has done more to regenerate the reputation of the wolf in the white man's world than has David Mech in his many years of research of North American wolf populations." --
Outdoors West"An excellent combination of masterful photography and relevant and convincing discussion. I recommend it highly. . . ." --

International Wolf"Mech is the foremost expert on wolves in this country, possibly in the world, hands down." --
Smithsonian"[The Way of the Wolf] bursts with spectacular photos, authoritative insights and hard-won data disguised as narrative . . . ." --
