商品簡介
Ground-breaking wolf researchers often work under hostile conditions, both environmentally and politically. From research pioneers Aldo Leopold and Adolph Murie to Dave Mech in the High Arctic, Diane Boyd in Idaho, Luigi Boitani in Italy, and Julio Carrera in Mexico, twenty distinguished scientists are featured. They work in ten different countries in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Scandinavia, where Norway and Sweden had just two breeding wolf packs in 1992.
The biologists featured constantly struggle to balance their research with the political, economic, and cultural realities surrounding the wolves they study.
The book contains a sixteen-page photo section identifying researchers and a summary in both written and time-chart form of wolf research around the world over the past sixty years.
Anyone who cares about the controversies surrounding Canis lupis will want to learn more about the people who follow the pack and the international status of wolves and wolf research.
