Wolves once reigned as the premier predators in their range. This is an illustrated celebration of a powerful, intelligent hunter, which is now regarded as vital to the ecological integrity of the planet. It includes Native American legends, fiction, poetry, and the myths and fables of many lands. The book is illustrated by leading wildlife photographers, and their are wolf images in paintings, sculpture, and other visual arts. From this material there emerges an animal which bequeathed the qualities of loyalty, affection and intelligence to domestic dogs; a model provider for family and pack, as well as an emblem of graceful and expressive beauty; and to some, a fearful intruder on the civilized landscape.
