Publisher's summary

Called the Jane Goodall of wolves, world-renowned wildlife biologist Diane Boyd has spent four decades studying and advocating for wolves in the wilds of Montana near Glacier National Park. When she started in the 1970s, she was the only female biologist in the United States researching and radio-collaring wild wolves. With her two dogs for company, she faced the rigors of the Montana winter in an isolated cabin.

Boyd fearlessly forded icy rivers, strapped on skis to navigate thick stands of lodgepole pine, and monitored packs from the air in a tiny bush plane so she could count wolves and see what they were feeding on. She faced down grizzly bears, mountain lions, wolverines-and the occasional trapper-as she stalked her quarry: a handful of wolves that were making their way south from Canada into Montana. She devised her own trapping methods and negotiated with locals as wolf populations grew from the first natural colonizer to more than 3,000 wolves in the West today.

Boyd takes the listener on a wild ride from the early days of wolf research to the present-day challenges of wolf management across the globe, highlighting her interactions with an apex predator that captured her heart and her undying admiration. Her writing resonates with her indomitable spirit as she explores the intricate balance of human and wolf coexistence.

Wonderful!

Diane’s life is truly remarkable. Wonderfully written and beautiful to read. A Woman Among Wolves is one of the best appeals to conservation that I have read.
