Lopez, Barry Holstun Of Wolves and Men
Scribner 1978 0684163225 / 9780684163222 Trade Paperback Near-Fine
A photo of this book is available. Near-fine copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. Covers are clean (NO tears). 309 pages. Very-nicely illustrated throughout. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Humankind's relationship with the wolf is based on a spectrum of responses running from fear to admiration and affection. Lopez's classic, careful study won praise from a wide range of reviewers and went on to improve the way books about wild animals are written. Of Wolves and Men reveals the uneasy interaction between wolves and civilization over the centuries, and the wolf's prominence in our thoughts about wild creatures. Drawing on an astonishing array of literature, history, science, and mythology as well as considerable personal experience with captive and free-ranging wolves, Lopez argues for the necessity of the wolf's preservation and envelops the reader in its sensory world, creating a compelling picture of the wolf both as real animal and as imagined by man. A scientist might perceive the wolf as defined by research data, while an Eskimo hunter sees a family provider much like himself. For many Native Americans the wolf is also a spiritual symbol, a respected animal that can make both the individual and the community stronger. With irresistible charm and elegance, Of Wolves and Men celebrates scientific fieldwork, dispels folklore that has enabled the Western mind to demonize wolves, explains myths, and honors indigenous traditions, allowing us to further understand how this incredible animal has come to live so strongly in the human heart. Biography Barry Holstun Lopez is the author of Desert Notes: Reflections in the Eye of a Raven and Giving Birth to Thunder, Sleeping with His Daughter: Coyote Builds North America. He is also a contributing editor of North American Review and writes regularly for Harper's and other magazines.
