Resilience as foundational character trait

Rick is an amazing storyteller but then again his subject matter is pretty incredible too.

Great insight into wolf behavior, especially within a pack.

This book satisfied my interest in the wolves of Yellowstone. I was happily surprised to learn about the efforts to preserve these intelligent and powerful creatures. The author/researcher writes like someone who fulfilled his life passion. What a great momento.
