| In Wolf Mountains: A History of Wolves Along the Great Divide, Karen R. Jones examines the history of wolves in four national parks in the United States and Canada. Using the Rocky Mountain parks of Yellowstone and Glacier National Park in the United States and Banff and Jasper national parks in Canada as examples, Jones demonstrates the interaction between wolves and humans, myth and public policy. This creates what Jones calls a "history situating humans within a wider community of species," which does not necessarily begin or end at international borders (p. 13). This well-written, well-organized study adds depth to the literature about national parks in the United States and Canada and offers fascinating insight into changing attitudes toward wolves in these parks. |
