5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling read, 21 Oct 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Return of the Wolf to Yellowstone (Hardcover)
Thomas McNamee is a passionate writer as well as a consummate naturalist, and what he has done in this book is a remarkable feat; to tell the story of the Yellowstone wolves from the perspective of a denizen of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem/one who owns a ranch within the wolves' new domaine/and an enrivro who questions his own, in addition to other's, emotional involvement with the issues raised by the their re-introduction. To do this all in a book as readable as this one is is a great feat. If you love the West, love Nature, or just want a surprisingly suspenseful story of the animals survival, the political and social implications of the wolf and, by extension, the ideals of the Endangered Species Act, you must read this book -- You won't be disappointed. It's a personal journey with implications for all of us who care about the imperiled natural world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A modest boonie proposal, 2 Oct 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Return of the Wolf to Yellowstone (Hardcover)
This is another boonie dog book review from Wolfie and Kansas. We thoroughly enjoyed Thomas McNamee's "The Return of the Wolf to Yellowstone". The problem with books by tree-huggers is that their prose is often wooden. Thomas McNamee's prose is meaty, not wooden. This book is very readable, and McNamee maintains suspense throughout concerning the fate of individual wolves, packs, and the entire gray wolf reintroduction project.

"The Return of the Wolf to Yellowstone" discusses not only the actions of wolves, but also the political and legal machinations of noncanine animals of primate derivation. The anti-wolf humans do not want anything as feral as canis lupus running loose in national parks. Pro-wolf humans believe the parks' ecosystems require something more feral than canis lapdog. We have a modest proposal to prevent similar disputes the next time a national park needs an infusion of canis something. According to local human politricksters, Guam has a surplus of canis boonie. As a result, boonie dogs are rounded up and sent to the euphemistically-named "shelter" to be even-more-euphemistically "put to sleep". GovGuam could resolve its alleged boonie dog overpopulation problem more humanely (and more caninely) by sending its surplus boonie dogs to a mainland national park. Our jungle survival skills, combined with our disinclination to attack carabao, make boonie dogs the perfect canis compromisus for both environmentalists and ranchers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling story of enviro issues, politics and nature., 31 Jul 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Return of the Wolf to Yellowstone (Hardcover)
A compelling story of how the wolves finally came back to Yellowstone. A natural history story about these fascinating animals. A political story about misinformation, disimformation, political infighting, even major splits in the environmental community. The book reads like a novel. I highly recommend it.
