Book Reviews of The Wolf Almanac
Book Review: I'd like to give it four and a half
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll admit it--when I first started reading this book, I was a little disappointed. I'd just gotten done re-reading Barry Holstun Lopez's "Of Wolves and Men" and saw a lot of repeated material.
I had to remind myself, thoughm that Lopez's work, dating from 1978, was exhaustive, and there really wasn't too much historical material that he hadn't already touched on. So I continued.
Where this book is really valuable is in the updated information on reintroduction and conservation programs. A lot has happened in the last quarter decade, and Busch has covered it incredibly well. The copyright is from the late 90's, so it's a bit dated, but most of the programs and refuges are still going.
Basically, this is the book that picks up where Lopez left off. It entreats responsibility on the part of the reader, and explores the many facets of humanity's relationship with the wolf. Busch's book doesn't have quite the style or emotion of "Of Wolves and Men", but it is a worthy effort nonetheless and well worth the read.
Summary of The Wolf Almanac
"The Wolf Almanac" has become an acknowledged reference for the evolution and history of wolves: their biology and physiology; their behavior and sociology; and their influence in ancient cultures and mythology. This new edition is an invaluable resource for wolf researchers, enthusiasts, amateur naturalists, and anyone interested in ecology, preservation, and conservation. 100+ photos of color photos .Busch, a longtime student of wolves, gathers bits and pieces of lore, lots of biological facts and factoids, and a great deal of expert testimony on the behavior of our lupine friends. You'll learn from his pages that, given their druthers, wolves would sooner eat moose, buffalo, and deer than just about anything else; that wolves can travel 125 miles in a single day; and, sadly, that in Canada, at least as of 1995, the wolf is the only animal hunted year-round with no bag limits and no license requirements. This well-researched potpourri is must-have for fans of Canis lupus.
