"Yellowstone's resident wolf guru Rick McIntyre has been many things to many people: an expert tracker for the park's biologists, an indefatigable roadside interpreter for visitors, and an invaluable consultant to countless chronicles of the park's wolves--including my own. But he is first and foremost a storyteller whose encyclopedic knowledge of Yellowstone's wolf reintroduction project--now in its 25th year--is unparalleled." --Nate Blakeslee, author of the New York Times bestseller American Wolf "[McIntyre] spins the best stories about wolves that anyone will ever tell. No one could match it." --Douglas W. Smith, senior wildlife biologist and project leader for the Yellowstone Gray Wolf Restoration Project "This book is your invitation and opportunity to spend years inside Yellowstone National Park alongside the man who has spent more time watching wolves than anyone in the history of the world. As your patient teacher, he will show you that wolves are all individuals, and that the lives they lead are truly epic." --Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel "No one I know of has watched wild wolves longer or more closely than Rick McIntyre. I also have met few who are as good at weaving interesting stories from those unique observations. He witnessed multi-generational sagas of victory, defeat, joy, and survival of Shakespearean proportions among the most famous wolf packs on earth." --Ed Bangs, former US Fish & Wildlife Service Wolf Recovery Coordinator; led the reintroduction of Yellowstone wolves. For many years I've thought that Rick McIntyre is the 'go-to-guy' for all things wolf, and his latest book, The Rise of Wolf 8, amply confirms my belief. A must read--to which I'll return many times--for anyone interested in wolves and other nature. Wolves and humans are lucky to have Rick McIntyre." --Marc Bekoff, PhD, author of Rewilding Our Hearts and Canine Confidential "To follow the ever-changing destinies of the Yellowstone wolves is to witness a real-life drama, complete with acts of bravery, tragedy, sacrifice, and heroism. Rick McIntyre has monitored the park's wolves since reintroduction. He once said, 'Certain wolves that I have come to know, they are better at being wolves than I have been at being a person.'" --Jim and Jamie Dutcher, founders of Living with Wolves "McIntyre has here written the captivating story of individual wolves and their personalities in their natural setting of competing with other packs, starting with those reintroduced into Yellowstone Park. Their stories will become a classic in animal behavior, with impacts reaching into ecology, conservation biology, and comparisons to human social evolution. All is presented with skill and verve to be accessible to a wide audience." --Bernd Heinrich, PhD, professor emeritus of biology at the University of Vermont and author of Mind of the Raven "By absorbing himself in Yellowstone National Park and making its wolves central in his life, Rick McIntyre has uncovered a rich panoply of personality differences and social complexity in their daily lives and activities. The inevitable result is to recast this much-maligned species in a deeply sympathetic, compassionate, and mesmerizing way." --John B. Theberge, PhD, wildlife ecologist, wolf biologist, and author of Wolf Country "Rick's book is a testament to the irreplaceable value of direct and long term observation of wild animals in their habitat. No trick of modern technology will ever be able to catch the subtleties of the messages sent by just a glance or the sophisticated mechanisms of leadership in a wolf pack. This book will tell you all this and much more: its contribution to wolf biology is immense, for scientists as well as for wolf lovers." --Luigi Boitani, Honorary Professor, Department of Biology and Biotechnologies, University of Rome, Italy, An Amazon.com Best Science Book of 2019! Runnerup -- 2020 Reading the West Book Awards! Named a Notable Book by the 2019 Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Awards! "[McIntyre's] greatest strength is the quiet respect and wonder with which he regards his subjects, a quality clearly informed by decades of careful watching." --Publishers Weekly "Rick's book [The Rise of Wolf 8] is a goldmine for information on all aspects of wolf behavior and clearly shows they are clever, smart, and emotional beings." --Psychology Today "The main attraction of this book, though, is the storytelling about individual wolves, including the powerful origin story of one of Yellowstone's greatest and most famous wolves." --Washington Post "Yellowstone's resident wolf guru Rick McIntyre has been many things to many people: an expert tracker for the park's biologists, an indefatigable roadside interpreter for visitors, and an invaluable consultant to countless chronicles of the park's wolves--including my own.
