Title: Wolfsong
Description: "Honored by tribal peoples as a protector of family and clan, and revered by the ancient Romans for protecting and nurturing their city's founders, Romulus and Remus, the wolf has long inspired deep and conflicting emotions in humans. In this illustrated study, Catherine Feher-Elston considers the wolf in the contexts of mythology, folklore, history, and science."

"For many, wolf is a great teacher - the very spirit of strength and endurance. For others he inspires deep-seated anxieties, fears that have resulted in a campaign of extermination so long-lived that, until recently, the wolf has teetered on the edge of extinction. From famous "outlaw" wolves of the early twentieth centeury, such as Ghost Wolf and Snowdrift (who had bounties on their heads), to the archetypal Father Wolf of Native American religion, Wolfsong explores the complexity of our relationship to the wolf and pays tribute to this elegant and wise animal."--Jacket.
