Wolf Nation
Wolf Nation: The Life, Death, and Return of Wild American Wolves | Brenda Peterson
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
In the tradition of Peter Matthiessen's Wildlife in America or Aldo Leopold, Brenda Peterson tells the 300-year history of wild wolves in America. It is also our own history, seen through our relationship with wolves. The earliest Americans revered them. Settlers zealously exterminated them. Now, scientists, writers, and ordinary citizens are fighting to bring them back to the wild. Peterson, an eloquent voice in the battle for twenty years, makes the powerful case that without wolves, not only will our whole ecology unravel, but we'll lose much of our national soul.

This book starts a bit rough, as basically a polemic against anti-wolf views. But then it settles in, showing the history and current reality of human views of wolves in the US and some of the efforts to reintroduce these animals. Clearly there‘s a long road to make that happen. And I love this gorgeous beast on the cover.

She explains how we all play a role in protecting the world in which we live and the natural settings that surround us, arguing that no species can be eliminated without series consequences to other aspects of nature. This book makes the reader have all the feels and It‘s a must read.
