Return of the Wolf: Conflict and Coexistence

Paula Wild takes us on an in-depth and fascinating journey through the dualities of hatred and devotion, fear and fascination that for so long have shaped our haunted relationship with wolves. If we fear what we do not understand, then this well researched and insightful book will take us closer to understanding and, hopefully, to compassion for a species maligned for far too long. * Ian McAllister, Executive Director of Pacific Wild * Return of the Wolf is a timely, important and much needed book. Wild explores diverse perspectives of the often troubled relationships between wolves and humans from around the world and provides insights into ways we can prevent conflict and share the landscape with this amazing predator. * Stephen Herrero, Author of Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance * Wolves are possibly the most amazingly wonderful animals. They are certainly the most irrationally hated. Paula Wild helps set the record straight by helping us know the real wolf. This is important because wolves belong, because humans and wolves can coexist, and because we must learn to wage peace with them. * Carl Safina, Author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel * “Impressively informative, exceptionally well written, organized and presented, Return of the Wolf: Conflict and Coexistence is enhanced for academia with the inclusion of a four page Appendix (Wolf Safety Checklist), a six page listing of Selected Sources, and a seven page Index, making it an ideal and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, college, and university library Contemporary Wildlife collections in general, and Wolf Ecology supplemental studies reading lists in particular.” ~Midwest Book Review, March 19, 2019 http://www.midwestbookreview.com/lbw/mar_19.htm#PetsWildlife
