Woof



OK - so why do the books I read not have images on Amazon - but they do on wikipedia?

Anyway.... This is a great littlt book for those of you who are interested in any sort of environmentalism (or the Arctic, or Wolves, or Governmental Bureaucracy/Malfeasence), and on top of that it's really short. Mr. Mowat tells a stirring tale of his research for the Federal Govt. (Canada) studying wolves 300 miles from Churchill in wild northern Canada. He largely refutes most of the "common knowledge" about wolves and writes a great book at the same time. Although according to that great fount of information of dubious veracity it is possible that he made up some of the experiences in this autobiographical work... but who doesn't do that these days (or in 1963).
