Barry Lopez's (1945-2020) books include Light Action in the Caribbean (stories), About This Life (essays and memoir), the novella-length fable Crow and Weasel, and Arctic Dreams (nonfiction), for which he received the National Book Award. He traveled extensively in remote regions of the world, and his work has been widely translated and anthologized. He was a recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim, Lannan, and National Science foundations; the Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters; the John Burroughs and John Hay medals; and other honors.
“A remarkable book, both biologically absorbing and humanly rich,
and one that should be read by every ecologically concerned
American.” —John Fowles
“Animal Kingdom Of Wolves and Men is not only the best popular
account of an animal I have read in a long time, but also something
new — a bridge between books of the past and those of the future,
which, it is hoped, will incorporate and expand the perceptions so
eloquently treated here.” —George Schaller
“A splendid, beautiful book.” —Edmund Fuller, Wall Street
Journal
“Fascinating....His book has a wealth of observation, mythology and
mysticism about wolves that adds a colorful part to the still
unfinished mosaic that defines the wolf.” —Bayard Webster, New Fork
Times Book Review
“Eloquent....His own patient effort to understand a despised,
feared and heavily mythologized beast induces a shiver, of
strangeness, the sign of fresh, original work.” —Walter Clemons,
Newsweek
“Unusually informative and sensitive.” —Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles
Times
“Haunting....has something of value to say to all of us.” —Boston
Globe
“Brilliant...a work of intelligence, dedication and beauty,
deserving the widest possible attention not only for the sake of
wolves but also for the sake of men.”—Whitley Streiber, Washington
