Using vivid illustrations, maps, scientific research, and field observations, Moskowitz (Wildlife of the Pacific Northwest) describes his experiences tracking wolf populations throughout the Pacific Northwest. He outlines the evolutionary history, cultural significance, geographic dispersal, and hunting habits of wolves, and examines threats to wolf populations and future directions in wolf conservation. The results are a comprehensive overview of wolves and their interactions with humans and broader ecosystems. Unlike Thomas McNamee's The Return of the Wolf to Yellowstone, he documents several case studies, rather than focusing on one. As a result, readers can observe patterns in wolf restoration initiatives.
VERDICT Moskowitz's examination of how human behaviors have impacted wolf populations will be of interest to wildlife conservationists, while his exploration of the physiology, habits, migrations, and lore of wolves of all kinds makes this book an important resource for any wolf enthusiast. The in-depth descriptions of national parks and landmarks in the mountainous Pacific Northwest will appeal to nature readers. This is an essential read for anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding of how ecological, political, and geological trends can lead to the decline or restoration of species and their habitats.
