A wildlife photographer records in text and photographs two visits to Ellesmere Island, Northwest Territories, where he filmed a pack of Arctic wolves over several months.
Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Wildlife photographer Brandenburg's account of a summer he spent near the Arctic Circle with a pack of white wolves is spirited by wildness, discovery and danger, yet also gentled by awe, mutual respect and profound emotion. "Thrilled" at the prospect of knowing wolves "that hadn't learned to fear humans," Brandenburg slips into their world without interrupting it and captures their behaviors, personalities and intelligence in word pictures nearly as descriptive and articulate as his photography. On the musicality of howling: "Every wolf avoided hitting the same note . When this happened by accident, one of the voices would frantically shuffle about until discord could be achieved once again." Although wary of anthropomorphism, Brandenburg writes that "animals undoubtedly have more feelings than we give them credit for." This subtle, underlying persuasion, while never overwrought, gives the book a magnetic appeal. Ages 8-up. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Informati

He gets to know the wolves personaly and they begin to trust him completly. We have a family member with much milder disabilities from cerebral palsy. Seeing these two unlikely people get together is a whole lot of fun.. This book definitely has it's strong points. The instructions are vague and the pictures are
