Publisher's summary

In Decade of the Wolf, project leader Douglas W. Smith and acclaimed nature writer Gary Ferguson describe the journey of 31 Canadian gray wolves that were released in 1995 and 1996 into Yellowstone National Park and the people who faithfully followed them. The wolves have not only survived but completely changed the ecosystem, spilling a fresh measure of wildness across the world's first national park.

This updated edition includes additional wolf profiles, new information on the effects of climate change and disease, and a retrospective on what the scientists have learned during this extended study of the Yellowstone wolves.

Informational

Very informative and enjoyable book. Facts about wolves and not just a bunch of political viewpoints.

First Rate!

This is an absolute must read for anyone with even a passing interest in re-populating Yellowstone N. P with wolves. Mr Douglas Smith was the project leader on the world project, and he along with his co-writer did a bang up job with telling the story. It really makes me want to visit Yellowstone in the winter to see the wolves, which would be an over the top incredible experience.

The heart is heavy and filled with respect

This view into the world of the Wolf was a feast of information I have longed for with no idea just how hard their life is to this day. The heartbreaking realization is the destructive mark of man on all living creatures. We justify our actions in the name of money and progress as we continue to slip into darkness. This book added to my respect for the magnificent creature that is the wolf.

It's a must read for anyone interested in the wild

A book I will go back to many times. Seeing wild wolves in Yellowstone was a seminal moment in my life. The book captures why.

Essential understanding of the complex dynamic between man and wolf

This biological view of wolves and the reintroduction into Yellowstone is an essential and practical understanding of what it means to have wolves on the landscape.
