This is a humbling and chilling book. I don't know how, but Mowat in the course of this slim volume managed to write an incredibly readable book about government incompetence and savagery, biology, and a single expedition that reveals how humanity has made itself alien from the planet we presume to call home. Many of the conclusions made in this book are going to stay with me for a long time.
Great book. Trask and I listened to the audio version on our drive to LA and it was funny and touching. This strikes me as one of the early books taking a frank look at the effects of hunting on wildlife and also exposing the government's sanction of it.
Farley Mowat heads off into the Canadian wilderness in search of wolves. He knows everything people have learned about wolves and everything he knows is wrong.
I wasn't expecting this to be such a clever and funny book. Highly recommended.
