One of Rick Bass's most widely respected works of natural history, The Ninemile Wolves follows the fate of a modern wolf pack, the first known group of wolves to attempt to settle in Montana outside protected national park territory.  The wolf inspires hatred, affection, myth, fear, and pity: its return ignites the passions of cattle ranchers and environmentalists, wildlife biologists and hunters.  One man's vigorous, emotional inquiry into the proper relationship between man and nature, The Ninemile Wolves eloquently advocates wolf reintroduction in the West.  In a new preface, Bass discusses the enduring lessons of the Ninemile story.

Rick Bass is the author of many award-winning books of fiction and nonfiction, including Colter and The Lost Grizzlies.  He lives in Montana's Yaak Valley.
