"This will undoubtedly become the standard work on wolves for academic and professional collections."

Alvin Hutchinson | Library Journal

"This book is the first comprehensive review of wolf biology since Mech’s original work. It provides an excellent compilation of current knowledge, with contributions from all the main players in wolf research over the past few decades who are still alive. It is designed for a wide readership, and certainly the language and style will appeal to both scientists and lucophiles alike. . . . This is an excellent summary of current knowledge and will remain the standard reference work for a long time to come. And by today’s standards, it’s refreshingly cheap."

Stephen Harris | New Scientist

"Everything you wanted to know about wolves!"

Ecology

"There is no single source that compiles more information about wolves, and this compendium will stimulate a new generation of field biologists to design studies to fill the many gaping holes in our understanding. . . . For its price, this is a bargain of a book."

Mark S. Boyce | Quarterly Review of Biology

"One of the best books ever published about any wild carnivore species. Its 13 chapters cover a great swathe of topics—social ecology, behaviour, reproduciton, communication, feeding ecology, predator-prey relationships, population dynamics, physiology, molecular genetics, evolution and taxonomy, interactions with non-prey species and with humans, and conservation."

Nicholas Gould | International Zoo News

“This book, edited by two outstanding wolf biologists, is the first definitive work on the species since Mech’s monograph in 1970. Its expert contributors deal with all aspects of wolf biology—social life, hunting, prowess, physiology, genetics, worldwide distribution, and relations with humans—and this is the place to find almost any fact you want about wolves.” Stephen Mills, BBC Wildlife Magazine

Stephen Mills | BBC Wildlife

"Wolves provides an outstanding overview of the biology and conservation of the species, delivering an up-to-date and unparalleled account of grey wolf biology. . . . This is undoubtedly the most important book ever published on grey wolves. A heft volume, beautifully published, with many black and white photographs and quality colour plates, at a reasonable price. . . . A must-have reference book for the carnivore biologist, boreal ecologist, landscape conservationist, behavioural ecologist, student of people-wildlife conflicts, and countless wolf lovers worldwide.”

Claudio Sillero-Zubiri | Oryx

"[The book] provides one of the most extensive descriptions of the ecology of any mammal species in the world. . . . [It] brings together research conclusions on any conceivable topic related to wolves, very useful either for the interested person or the biologist."

John B. Theberge | Canadian Field Maturalist

"The book is a highly valuable addition to the bookshelf of anyone who would like to know more about why living with wolves will continue to challenge us and provide perspective on our own ecosystem role."
