First review ever, for a simply amazing book. I bought this book while in Yellowstone and devoured it on the flight home. It talks about the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park from the point of view of Doug Smith. Written beautifully and simply, it is easily understood. The pictures included in the book help illustrate the author's thoughts, although the beautiful writing doesn't need much help. Since it's written from the point of view of a staff member from the start of the reintroduction, it naturally has anecdotes, most of them informative, touching or funny. This book can only be improved with a trip to Yellowstone, where you can see for yourself exactly how majestic the wolf is. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I was very surprised with how easy this was to read. It was interesting to hear the stories and personalities of the different wolf packs, and how each wolf managed to survive the reintroduction and the ever-changing ecosystem of Yellowstone throughout the years.

I really enjoyed this account of the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone. The author makes you feel like you are there observing alongside him, and it's amazing to see the many impacts of the wolves in Yellowstone. A really interesting read!

A powerful insight into the wolves of Yellowstone and their reintroduction, it made me think about the moral consciousness of Americans and how the stereotypical views of their natural world transform ecosystems for the worse...yet sometimes for the better as well.

Important for a scientific perspective of the wolf program at Yellowstone, but the narrative structure was a bit hokey, all without really making a critical stand about the absolute vulnerability of this program.
