From the reviews:
"This book documents and evaluates the recovery of the gray wolf in the Great Lakes Region, where modern concepts of wolf conservation developed. Twenty-three chapters written by numerous wolf biologists cover all aspects of the recovery effort, starting with early history, research, and conservation in this area. … This book provides a model for future recovery efforts and the management of wolf populations, as well as of large predators. Summing Up: Recommended. All general, academic, and professional audiences." (R. L. Smith, Choice, Vol. 47 (2), October, 2009)
“Each chapter reads like a scientific paper that addresses its topic with scholarly thoroughness. … The chapters are essentially research papers written by scientists for other scientists. Anyone who can read a newspaper can understand most of this material … . In short, this book is a serious attempt to understand a major topic in wolf restoration. This compilation of scholarship is likely to be the most authoritative and carefully researched book on the topic for a long time to come.” (Steve Grooms, International Wolf, Spring, 2010)Editors and Affiliations
