Book Reviews of The Wolf Almanac, New and Revised: A Celebration of Wolves and Their World

Book Review: For anyone who wants to understand the world of the wolf
Summary: 5 Stars

The subtitle is rather misleading as this is far more intelligent, indepth and intriguing than most celebratory (read obsessed with "aren't they just so cute?" pictures) animal books are. Busch has created a book for both the layman and the academic with a wide ranging look at the world of the wolf. He explains the hierarchies of wolf family life, the problems they face and the historical view of them in clear, intelligent prose. His chapter on the history of the wolf is especially enjoyable. You need no prior knowledge but if you have some, the book is indepth enough not to be dull.

It's also a brilliant book for anyone who wants to study wolves more deeply without reading through endless, highly specific academic papers. He specifies where they live, controversies over subspecies / species naming and conservation problems they face in very clear and understandable formats. Highly recommended.
