A fascinating and richly illustrated portrait.
Explore both the history of the conflict between humankind and the wolf and the elaborate social behavior between these animals within their packs. Wolves is a photographic portfolio combining the work of some of North America's leading wildlife photographers and one of the world's leading nature writers, Daniel Wood. Through photographs and text, this most misunderstood of all animals is revealed in intimate detail.
Topics include:
Annual mating rituals
Tender parenting skills
Aggressive territorial imperative
Relentless pursuit of game
Pack cohesiveness
Ability to navigate and communicate over vast distances.
Wolves celebrates the wolf's return from the specter of extinction and calls for the protection of more territory where nature -- not humankind -- dominates.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. CIA agent John Wells refuses to let a privileged businessman walk away from a crime in this novel of modern suspense from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author. John Wells has just barely managed to stop an operation designed to drive the United States and Iran into war, but the instigator himself disappeared behind an impenetrable war of security. Now it's time for him to pay, and Wells has made it his personal mission. There are plenty of crosscurrents at work, though. The White House doesn't want anybody stirring the pot; his old CIA bosses have their own agendas; other countries are starting to sniff around, sensing something unusual. It is when Russia and China enter the mix, however, that the whole affair is set to combust. With alarming speed, Wells is once again on his own.and the wolves are closing in. Artikel-Nr. 00061710581
