Dear Fellow Ecologists- Apologies for the promotion, but a totally NEW book is out:
The World of Wolves: New Perspectives on Ecology, Behaviour and Management Eds. Musiani, Boitani, Paquet; University of Calgary Press (see attached cover) It illustrates impressive biology, precious information for management and conservation, many unique photos of wild wolves only, and artistic drawings (see attached samples, at low resolution in this email, but incredible). The table of contents tells much about the calibre of the contributors and of the contributions (below)! The book is available through a number of locations, example the amazon sites: http://www.amazon.com/World-Wolves-Perspectives-Management- Envirionment/dp/1552382699 http://www.amazon.co.uk/World-Wolves-Perspectives-Management- Envirionment/dp/1552382699 http://www.amazon.ca/World-Wolves-Perspectives-Behaviour- Management/dp/1552382699/ref=sr_1_2/186-7895646-8209866? ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277130313&sr=1-2 Yours!
