Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
To wildlife biologists of the National Park Service, 1995 was the "Year of the Wolf," at least in Yellowstone Park. The release of 14 gray wolves, translocated from the Canadian wilderness, marked the culmination of a quarter century of effort to devise a strategy for restoration. Project leaders Phillips and Smith give an engrossing, detailed account of the events?capture, translocation, acclimation, release?and the subsequent fate of the animals in their new home. Their narrative is interrupted at various points by 16 brief essays by others involved in the release, including Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt. Phillips relates the poignant story of wolf #10, shot from the highway, his mate, #9, and their eight pups. Another wolf, #3, had to be destroyed because of predation. Wolf restoration is one of the most important conservation initiatives in our history, according to the authors; they plead for continued congressional and public support. Stunning photographs make their own eloquent plea for the wolves. (Dec.) FYI: Proceeds from the sale of this book will be contributed to support wolf restoration in Yellowstone.

From Library Journal
By the mid-1930s silence had replaced the howl of the wolf in the Yellowstone ecosystem?the result of overly zealous government predator control programs. In this eloquent and concisely written book, Phillips and Smith, project leaders for Yellowstone wolf recovery, provide an inside account of the complete restoration project, including public relations, capture, relocation, acclimation, both the 1995 and 1996 releases, and tracking. Fifteen additional persons involved with the project, including former Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, contribute short, often moving essays describing their thoughts and feelings about the return of the wolf to the park. Most of the over 70 color photos are of the wolves themselves. These mesmerizing pictures make the book. Recommended for any public or academic library with a strong environmental collection; also highly recommended for libraries in the Rocky Mountain region.?Lynn C. Badger, Univ. of Florida Lib., Gainesville
