"The wolf exerts a powerful influence on the human imagination. It takes your stare and turns it back on you."
In this astonishing classic, Barry Lopez draws upon an impressive range of natural history, scientific fieldwork, and traditional folklore—along with his own personal experience living among captive and free-ranging wolves—to reveal the curious, controversial nature of Canis lupus. Now with a new preface by bestselling author Nate Blakeslee, Of Wolves and Men is wildlife literature at its finest.
"Haunting . . . has something of value to say to all of us." —The Boston Globe
"A wealth of observation, mythology and mysticism . . . that adds a colorful part to the still-unfinished mosaic that defines the wolf." —The New York Times Book Review
"Biologically absorbing and humanly rich . . . should be read by every ecologically concerned American." —John Fowle
"Not only the best popular account of an animal I have read in a long time but also something new—a bridge between books of the past and those of the future, which, it is hoped, will incorporate and expand the perceptions so eloquently treated here." —George Schaller
"[Lopez’s] patient effort to understand a despised, feared, and heavily mythologized beast induces a shiver of strangeness, the sign of fresh, original work." —Newsweek
