内容简介

Humans have always been fascinated by wolves. These top predators' lives resemble ours in many ways, not the least of which is their sociality and reliance on an extended family. And yet, the only real enemy of the wolf is humans. This dichotomy between reverence and revulsion, between admiration and enmity--basically, a battle between -almost-equals--is explored in this lovely book from an award-winning team of author and photographer. Before humans settled down and became farmers, wolves were peers of human hunters and were made totems, shamans, and demigods of various cultures worldwide. But when these erstwhile equals began to prey on our newly domesticated livestock, they became enemies to vanquish and to ultimately destroy. Shifting effortlessly between science and myth, with sociological, anthropological, and ethological stops along the way, Grambo explores all sides of the wolf, from both lupine and human perspectives. The many illustrations, which include Daniel Cox's images of wolves in the wild, reinforce the premise of the text. Nancy Bent
