Romeo: The Story of an Alaskan Wolf - Tapa dura
Críticas
"John Hyde in his beautiful tribute to Romeo, a lone dark-haired wolf, creates a unique and endearing story. This chronicle of a wolf in the midst of two worlds inspires respect for all wolves and their rightful place in nature. This book will delight a broad audience and that's good for all free-living animals, and good for the human spirit." "Few humans are lucky enough to spend time with a wild wolf. I am one. My moment in time with Romeo was inspirational -- a lifetime experience to cherish forever." "There's a sharp division in the way we view wolves - a division fueled far more by mythology and imagination than by fact. Wolves shouldn't and can't fit neatly into any negative or positive stereotype. Their niche in any ecosystem is not so one dimensional. We do wolves a disservice when we squeeze them into simplistic scripts and, ultimately, we diminish our appreciation of all wild things if we fall prey to a simplistic wolf myth. Our fear or love of wolves gets in the way of awe and, if wolves can't inspire awe, what wild creature can?" "Romeo: The Story of an Alaskan Wolf is not about wolves, it is the nearest thing to being a wolf that could be hoped for. Romeo, the principle character, chose to build a bridge between his kind and ours and succeeded so well that, though it cost him his life, he for ever banished the mythical wolf created by mankind and showed us the true nature of one of the most admirable and interesting living beings on our planet. I envy John Hyde as I have never envied another human being." John Hyde in his beautiful tribute to Romeo, a lone dark-haired wolf, creates a unique and endearing story.

Reseña del editor
This is a magnificently illustrated book that tells the remarkable true story of Romeo, a lone Alaskan wolf, and his fight for survival in an ever-changing world. Filled with glorious full-colour photography, this is the story of Romeo, a lone wolf who has made the Mendenhal Glacier in Alaska his territory for the past decade. Unafraid of tourists and locals, and eager to play with his canine cousins that accompany them, he has taught thousands of people that wolves are playful and not ferocious killers to be shunned and feared, and that their need to be accepted and loved is just as vital to living fulfilled lives as it is for us humans. With stunning photography, close observation and telling detail, together with the personal stories of others who spent time with him, this is a unique book that will be treasured by those who love wildlife.
