Of Wolves and Men

Originally published in 1978, this classic exploration of humanity’s complex relationship with and understanding of wolves returns with a new afterword by the author.

“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.
