First sentence: THE HILTON HOTEL ON THE SLOPE BELOW THE STATE capitol in Albany, New York, houses an endless rotation of people who would like the Empire State to behave in some particular way.
Description: "Long after their eradication from almost all parts of the United States, wolves still evoke a primal response, firing the imagination with admiration, awe, and dread. Efforts to restore them to Yellowstone, North Carolina, and elsewhere have provoked heated public debate and met with only mixed success.

Scientists and policymakers are debating the merits of returning the wolf to the northeastern United States, where the forests of northern New England and upstate New York may provide the range and resources necessary to support them. This book brings together four thoughtful and literate observers of the natural world to reflect on the implications and potential of such an effort."--BOOK JACKET.
