<P>Wolves hold an almost mythical status in the cultural history of Europe and North America. For hundreds of years, they have been the subject of fairy tales and other lore, embodying mystery, cunning, and sometimes threat. People are drawn to their beauty, intrigued by their behaviours. Yet for those who live in close proximity to wolves, coexistence is fraught with many serious issues. </P>

<P>Wolf management is an excellent model of human-nature interaction and the challenges that come along with it. <EM>A New Era for Wolves and People</EM> analyzes the crucial relationship between human ethics, attitudes, and policy and the management of wolf populations in Europe and North America. The contributors to this volume assert that these human dimensions affect wolf survival just as much, if not more, than the physical environment.</P>

<P>Contributors include recognized scientists and other wolf experts who introduce new and sometimes controversial findings. <EM>A New Era for Wolves and People</EM> includes colour photographs by David C. Olson and drawings by wildlife artist Susan Shimeld.</P>
