The author is a photographer and lives on the northern coast of British Columbia, He has taken many wildlife photos and helped with studies of the local wolf populations where he is.
This is a coffeetablestyle book with plenty of large photographs, alongside information about the wolves, and an epilogue that includes information about the destruction and conservation of the area.


Oh, they are beautiful, And sadly, so vilified. I hate people. I hate hunters there are stories in the epilogue of some awful hunters, I hate the humans behind the companies that only want to make money and dont care what they destroy to do it, as they destroy the habitats for most animals.
These wolves are in an area that is less disturbed by humans, but its hard to say if that will last.


Getting beyond that, the wolves and the photos are beautiful, The area itself is beautiful, and there are a few photos that are not of the wolves, though of course, the bulk of the photos are.
The information about the wolves was interesting I didnt know that wolves and ravens have a symbiotic relationship wolves will hunt and eat many birds, but there has never been remains of ravens found in their scat.
There is also aish minute DVD included with the book, a short documentary that says some of the same as what the book says, but of course the “photos” are now a video.
And have I mentioned how beautiful they are! Any coffee table book has good photographs, and this is no exception.
What sets this book apart is in the telling: Ian McAlister studies the packs that live on the Canadian coast and shares his observations on the behavior of these packs.


Great to thumb through, but also great to read,

Update, Nov: there's a National Geographic article "Sea Wolves," Octwhich cites McAllister's work amp sounds like there may be a move to give these coastal wolves their own species.
Not sure how that works, but interesting to follow, Sulla costa selvaggia della Columbia Britannica bagnata dal Pacifico, al confine con l'Alaska, una peculiare sottospecie di lupo grigio vive al riparo o quasi dalla mano dell'uomo.
Distribuiti sul continente e sulle isole vicine, questi lupi nuotano in mare aperto tra terre emerse che distano chilometri l'una dall'altra, lottando con venti mutevoli, acque gelide e balene assassine.
Le loro caratteristiche fisiche e comportamentali, così come le tradizioni

del branco, sono il frutto di un adattamento millenario alla foresta pluviale della regione, dove questi esemplari convivono con specie dagli areali molto vasti come i grizzly, le megattere, i salmoni e gli uccelli migratori.
In questi luoghi, per diciassette anni, il giornalista e fotografo Ian McAllister ha vissuto gran parte delle sue giornate seguendo meticolosamente le tracce dell'ultimo branco di lupi selvaggi fino a conquistare totalmente la loro fiducia: è stato accolto nel loro territorio, gli è stato permesso di assistere alla nascita dei cuccioli e di seguire le migrazioni, e grazie a questa meravigliosa convivenza è riuscito a raccogliere preziosissimi appunti e migliaia di fotografie.
Il libro è il resoconto di questa straordinaria esperienza, in cui l'autore grazie anche a una scelta stilistica a metà tra il diario scientifico e il memoir ha il grande merito non solo di restituirci informazioni utili per la salvaguardia di un habitat, ma di catapultare il lettore tra le nevi e i ghiacciai di quelle foreste.
With the lies about wolves our media is telling and the current massacre in the US and Canada, this beautiful book becomes a necessity.
This is the best telling and reflection of these wonderful creatures I've read, The photography is stunning. Beautiful photography. I wish there was a stronger narrative to the text, A fantastic book. The author observespacks of wild wolves in B, C. It is so well written that I became truly attached to the individual members of these packs, As well as being full of biological details, this book engenders a love for these animals, In the last chapter, i cried at the eventual plight of these fine spirits This book is a treasure.
The author has spent seventeen years photographing and observing several unique wolf packs on the northern coast of British Columbia.
These wolves are genetically different from inland wolves because they have been isolated by the enormous coastal mountain range.


The photos are stunningly beautiful and the text accompanying them is inspiring and informative, I learned a lot about wolf behavior and their interactions with other coastal species such as bears, ravens, salmon, and orca whales.
Wolves are the true apex predators in this environment, and have been known to dine on bears, The Surf Pack even eats barnacles!

The author shows a tremendous love and respect for these magnificent animals and their habitat.
It really comes through in his writing,
It's shameful that greed and willful destruction are killing them and fouling their home,

There's also a DVD that comes with this book, I've only watched the first few minutes of it so far, but the scenery is spectacular!

And did I happen to mention yet that I LOVE this book : Absolutely beautiful.
A great book about a very special subspecies of the wolf,
I've never heard of coast wolves before and it was a joy to read about these wonderful animals.

Highly recommendable! A BEAUTIFUL book about the lives and habits of wild wolveswritten by a man who studied and lived among them for years.
Includes some of the most AWESOME pictures you'll ever see, I loved this book! I settled into bed with it last night, thinking I would read a few chapters before bed but then I didn't end up putting it down until I had devoured every single page! The photographs are stunning and so beautiful.
I laughed to myself numerous times over the antics of the wolves Ian was observing, especially the pups and my favourite wolves Ernest and Sorrow.
The encounters between Ian and the wolves were so amazing to read about! I even cried my way through most of the epilogue.
It's heartbreaking to read and see the images detailing the destruction of some of the areas where these wolves are located due to logging and clear cutting and of course, the indifference of the government to protect these beautiful animals.


Comes with DVD footage! It ranks up there with London's Call of the Wild, As nonfiction, it offers jawdropping insights both written and pictorial into a majestic and magical speciesthe wolf,
A beautiful book I learned much about wolves and their habitat, I borrowed this book from the library andpages in, I knew I had to have a copy of my own.
This is the first research ever conducted on this unique population, The photos are spectacular, but better, the author's passion for his subject shines through on every page, He goes beyond educating the reader about wolf culture and introducing wolf personalities he gives you every reason to love them.


The book includes a DVD with footage one would never expect to be so privileged to see the wolf pups playing tugofwar with sea kelp, fishing for salmon, the nearby orcas.
As the DVD says, "Humanity has a habit of burning down the library before reading the books, " It's incredible that such a place still exists, and the book documenting it is a treasure, .
