description: Long considered an icon of the wild wolves capture our imagination and spark controversy. Humans are the adult wolfs only true natural predator; its return to the old-growth forests and wild coastlines of the Pacific Northwest renews age-old questions about the value of wildlands and wildlife. As the vivid stories unfold in this riveting and timely book wolves emerge as smart complex players uniquely adapted to the vast interdependent ecosystem of this stunning region. Observing them at close range David Moskowitz explores how they live hunt and communicate tracing their biology and ecology through firsthand encounters in the wildlands of the Northwest. In the process he challenges assumptions about their role and the impact of even well-meaning human interventions.
