An up-close look at the beautiful, yet fierce wolves of the greater Yellowstone area and their fight for survival.

In Wolves: Western Warriors, the life of the powerful and majestic North American wolf, often considered to be vermin and dangerous, is presented, showing the struggle they have to simply survive in the wild and in a world where many people don't appreciate wolves and often set out to exterminate them. Argyle explores their behavior, their family dynamics, and what it means to be a wolf in the wilderness of the greater Yellowstone area through her stunning photography. She includes information about the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone and the ongoing struggle with keeping wolves listed as endangered species, while also offering her personal observations about the Wapiti Lake pack, among others, and several notable individual wolves. The strikingly beautiful images and the information and stories woven throughout the pages of the book showcase this frequently misunderstood, yet completely incredible species.

"If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know then and what you do not know, you will not fear. What one fears, one destroys." -- Chief Dan George, Tsleil-Waututh Nation, British Columbia, Canada.

"A timely, informative, beautifully presented coffee-table style volume, 'Wolves: Western Warriors' is an ideal and highly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, college, and university library wildlife photography collections in general, and Wolf Biology supplemental curriculum studies lists in particular."-- "Midwest Book Review" 

"Argyle's coffee-table compilation is filled with over 200 pages of stunning imagery and descriptive passages documenting the history and current status of the North American wolf. Combining striking photography with science-based information, Argyle breaks down wolf behavior, pack dynamics, and individual characteristics. This book is more than an assemblage of photos of one of the most iconic animals in the Greater Yellowstone Area--it is a call of action to protect them."--Corey Hockett "Outside Bozeman"
