“[McIntyre's] greatest strength is the quiet respect and wonder
with which he regards his subjects, a quality clearly informed by
decades of careful watching."
—Publishers Weekly
“Rick's book [The Rise of Wolf 8] is a goldmine for information on
all aspects of wolf behavior and clearly shows they are clever,
smart, and emotional beings."
—Psychology Today
“The main attraction of this book, though, is the storytelling
about individual wolves, including the powerful origin story of one
of Yellowstone’s greatest and most famous wolves."
—Washington Post
“Yellowstone’s resident wolf guru Rick McIntyre has been many
things to many people: an expert tracker for the park’s biologists,
an indefatigable roadside interpreter for visitors, and an
invaluable consultant to countless chronicles of the park’s
wolves—including my own. But he is first and foremost a storyteller
whose encyclopedic knowledge of Yellowstone’s wolf reintroduction
project—now in its 25th year—is unparalleled.”
—Nate Blakeslee, New York Times bestselling author of American Wolf
RICK MCINTYRE has spent more than fifty years watching
wolves in America’s national parks, twenty-five of those years in
Yellowstone, where he has accumulated over 100,000 wolf sightings
and educated the public about the park’s most famous wolves. He has
spoken about the Yellowstone wolves with 60 Minutes, NPR, and CBC,
and he is profiled extensively in Nate Blakeslee’s American Wolf
and in international publications. He lives in Silver Gate,
Montana.
ROBERT REDFORD—actor, director, and producer—has been a
passionate art and environmental activist since the early 1970s. He
has been an advocate for climate change awareness, clean energy,
and habitat protection for over forty years.
