John A. Murray Boeken

Where once many viewed the gray wolf, the red wolf, and the Mexican wolf merely as predators, threats to livestock and people alike, today the wolf is receiving protection, no longer regarded simply as a shadow creature to be chased from the landscape of North America. Out Among The Wolves gathers some of the best writings on the wolf over the past half-century from well-known scientists, naturalists, and authors. These voices provide thoughtful insights into this mythic creature and give passionate testimony to the importance of preserving the wolf's place in the wild.

Through his eloquent and often emotional essays, author John Murray shares his love of the desert. His text is a celebration of each of America's six desert Painted, Sonoran, Colorado, Chihuahuan, Great Basin, and Mojave. The award-winning photography of Jeff Gnass is an unparalleled photographic portfolio of the grand beauty of this most enchanting landscape.
