A wolf called Romeo
\"A Wolf Called Romeo is the true story of the exceptional black wolf who spent seven years interacting with the people and dogs of Juneau, Alaska, living on the edges of their community, engaging in an improbable, awe-inspiring interspecies dance, and bringing the wild into sharp focus. When Romeo first appeared, Nick Jans and the other citizens of Juneau were wary, but as Romeo began to tag along with cross-country skiers on their daily jaunts, play fetch alongside local dogs, or simply lie near Nick and nap under the sun on a quiet afternoon, Nick and the rest of Juneau came to accept Romeo, and he them\"-- Back cover.
Book
Among Wolves
Alaska's wolves lost their fiercest advocate, Gordon Haber, when
his research plane crashed in Denali National Park in 2009.
Passionate, tenacious, and occasionally brash, Haber, a former
hockey player and park ranger, devoted his life to Denali's wolves.
He weathered brutal temperatures in the wild to document the wolves
and provided exceptional insights into wolf behavior. Haber's
writings and photographs reveal an astonishing degree of
cooperation between wolf family members as they hunt, raise pups,
and play, social behaviors and traditions previously unknown. With
the wolves at risk of being destroyed by hunting and trapping, his
studies advocated for a balanced approach to wolf management. His
fieldwork registered as one of the longest studies in wildlife
science and had a lasting impact on wolf policies. Haber's field
notes, his extensive journals, and stories from friends all come
together in Among Wolves to reveal much about both the
wolves he studied and the researcher himself. Wolves continue to
fascinate and polarize people, and Haber's work continues to
resonate.
