Of Wolves and Men

by Barry Lopez

Of Wolves and Men Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

Boston GlobeHaunting....has something of value to say to all of us.

Review:

John FowlesA remarkable book, both biologically absorbing and humanly rich, and one that should be read by every ecologically concerned American.

Review:

Whitley Streiber

Washington Post

Review:

Bayard WebsterNew Fork Times Book ReviewFascinating....His book has a wealth of observation, mythology and mysticism about wolves that adds a colorful part to the still unfinished mosaic that defines the wolf.

Review:

Robert KirschLos Angeles TimesUnusually informative and sensitive.

Review:

Review:

Edmund FullerWall Street JournalA splendid, beautiful book.
