Wolf Mountains suggests that a lupocentric history of the national parks could be as complex and revealing as more traditional anthropocentric examinations of these preserves. While North American environmental historians have been diligent in describing political movements, natural resources, and landscapes, those birds, mammals, butterflies, etc. that have driven so many personal conservation crusades have been relatively neglected. Wolf Mountains fills this gap, chronicling the changing fortunes of gray wolves in four North American national parks, two in the U. S. (Yellowstone and Glacier) and two in Canada (Banff and Jasper). |
