Synopsis8 1/2 X 11, 128 pages, 100+ color and b & w photos, index, bibliography. Well rounded discussion from all sides of eth Minnesota wolf issue from variety of contributors, all of whom have first-hand involvement in the study of wolves. For Minnesotans, wolf-lovers, environmentalists, scientists and others involved in eth management of animal populations. MN wolves are prime example of successful animal protection program and subsequent issues such as a program generates. Editor Dr. L. David Mech is best known and most highly regarded wolf researcher in the world. Dr. Mech of St. Paul, MN works with the Biological Services Div., US Geological Survey; he's authored VOYAGEUR PRESS' Way of the Wolf and Artic Wolf, 10 Years with the Pack, The wolves of Minnesota are one of conservation's greatest success stories. Of the 48 contiguous United States, only Minnesota-with a wolf population at an estimated 2,600-has managed to protect and sustain a viable wolf population over the past two decades. Today, the wolf is close to being removed from the federal government's endangered species list. But while some applaud the wolf's return, others worry about the human cultural costs of maintaining such a large population, and others wonder if that population is too high for the wolf's own good. Edited by renowned expert "wolfman" Dr. L. David Mech and comprising the work of several researchers who have studied Minnesota wolves, "The Wolves of Minnesota" is an authoritative account of the background of the wolf in Minnesota. It features the fascinating story of the comeback of the wolf in Minnesota and examines the cultural costs of the comeback of the animal, to the point where the question is not "Will we ever hear the howl of the wolf again?" but "How many howls are enough?" "The Wolves of Minnesota" examines the animal and its packs and populations, the past and present ranges of the species in Minnesota, the rich history of the scientific research about it, the biology of the wolf, the wolf's prey, wolf-human interactions, and the future of the wolf in Minnesota.
