The gripping and moving true tale of the Yellowstone wolves, told through the rise and fall of an alpha female and her pack.  Parts of the narrative almost read like fiction.  Blakeslee does an excellent job of presenting the politics and opinions surrounding the reintroduction program in an impartial manner, although I think the lesson to be learned here is that human interference can never truly replicate nor re-calibrate nature's delicate system of checks and balances once we've upset it.

Being a Wildlife Biology major, this book really spoke to me and made me long for my days in the woods studying the animals.  This book really draws you in, and you develop a relationship with the wolves.  This is a piece of work as important to the world as Aldo Leopold's Thinking Like a Mountain.
