Of Wolves and Men

Book • 1978

Originally published in 1978, this book delves into the intricate and varied interactions between humans and wolves over centuries.

Lopez uses a wide range of sources, including personal experiences with captive and free-ranging wolves, to create a compelling portrait of the wolf.

The book celebrates scientific fieldwork, dispels folklore that has demonized wolves, explains myths, and honors indigenous traditions.

It explores how wolves are perceived differently by various cultures, such as scientists, Eskimo hunters, and Native Americans, and argues for the wolf's preservation.

The book also examines the historical and cultural significance of wolves in human imagination and society.
