Never Cry Wolf

Never Cry Wolf - Farley Mowat

From Amazon: "In the summer of 1948, young biologist and budding writer Farley Mowat, "infatuated with the study of animate nature," joined the Dominion Wildlife Service and, after enduring a few bureaucratic mishaps, was assigned to study a population of wolves in the subarctic highlands of southern Nunavut and northern Manitoba. Those wolves and their kin, Mowat's superiors believed, had decimated the once huge population of large mammals in the region, so that, as one worried official put it, "more and more of our fellow citizens are coming back from more and more hunts with less and less deer."

As a biologist (or at least working my way up to one), reading this book was really interesting. Wolves and other large carnivores have been misunderstood for years, and they still are today. This book was Farley Mowat's summer (or longer?) living up north with wolves. I really enjoyed his style of writing, as well as the topic.
