eBook editionsWolf Empire: An Intimate Portrait of a Speciesby Scott Ian Barry
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From award-winning photographer Scott Ian Barry comes Wolf Empire--the most comprehensive and stunning visual record of wolves ever published in black-and-white photography. In more than one hundred images of fur and teeth, texture and shape, light and shadow - many printed here for the first time - Barry creates a highly intimate look at a world seldom seen by the human eye. Having spent more than three decades observing and photographing wolves, and teaching and traveling with them. Barry is one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated champions of the species. In Wolf Empire, he invites us to enter this amazing and mysterious universe, encouraging us to see ourselves as part of a living planet, one that is shared with and made infinitely more interesting by these marvelous animals. As Barry helps us to understand the wide array of behavior and personality of wolves, shown here in words and photographs, we see what fascinating creatures they truly are. In sharp contrast to the sinister image of the wolf from folklore and fairy tale, Barry's photographs depict wolves as highly intelligent, social, affectionate, and often playful beings. Destined to become a classic, Wolf Empire is a unique tribute to one of the world's most beloved and revered species. Synopsis:Extraordinary photos that expose the elusive world of fur and teeth, light and shadow, and wolf behavior seldom seen by the human eye. Synopsis:"Wolf Empire is a magnificent portrait of one of nature's most majestic creatures, the wild wolf. Here we see their cunning, playfulness, beauty and killer instincts in an unforgettable album that gives us unique insights into their character and place in our lives." --Tom Brokaw “Ive tracked them, fought them in a film (Jeremiah Johnson), and narrated a Natural History Museum recording of their language. I know this much. They are much misunderstood, but they are smart, cunning and important to the overall balance of our threatened ecosystem. They are more than worth preserving. This book provides an excellent chart to understanding this very special animal.” --Robert Redford "Having spent nearly two decades working to restore these magnificent creatures to the hunting grounds of their ancestors in the wilds of the American West, I welcome Scott Ian Barry's rare and eloquent glimpse into the lives of wolves. As we become more intimate with these beings, we gain a better understanding of our own role in the circle of life." --Rob Edward, director, Carnivore Restoration Program, Sinapu

In this world of fur and teeth, texture and shape, light and shadow, Barry creates a highly intimate look at wolves and their often mystifying way of life. Each high-quality photograph is accompanied by a narrative in which Barry relates the circumstances that led to the taking of the photo, or some unique personal observation about wolf behavior gathered from his more than thirty years of experience as a wildlife photographer. His great reverence for these magnificent animals comes through in frame after frame of wolves in varying degrees of harmony and aggression, excitement and tranquility, cooperation and solitude--all part of their experience and essential to their survival. Barry’s photographs show wolves for the individuals they are, a species as diverse as humans.
