Never Cry Wolf was one of the most fascinating books about animals and nature I've ever read. The impressively well-written cast of characters, both human and beast, all had unique personalities which helped build the world the author had…

A naturalist spends a summer north of Churchill, Canada, studying a wolf family. The results debunk popular ideas about dangers of wolves to man and caribou herds. Classic nature study. Made into a movie.

Told in a hilariously moving way, this treatise in defense of the much maligned wolf is a must read for everybody.

This really is an amazing narrative of man vs. wild, fascinating insight into the lives of wolves in the wild, and the connections between living creatures. Too bad the whole thing has been discredited as a complete fabrication.

Now a year after his demise and up to half a century after their publication, Farley Mowat and his accounts of the natural world remain unrivaled in potency, grace and venerability. "Never Cry Wolf" is a most important component to this…

A beautifully romantic science narrative that isn't whacked out or cheesy. In fact, it's full of strange quirks related in neighborly verbiage concealing great wit and more than a little insight and humility. A classic that's bound to…
