TRAIL OF THE WOLF, seeks to dispel the myths that have often resulted in the persecution of the world's most fascinating animals. It is a beautifully illustrated book by top wildlife photographers.
R.D. Lawrence was a Canadian naturalist and wildlife author. Born aboard ship in the Bay of Biscay off the coast of Spain on September 12, 1921, he moved to Canada in 1954. RD Lawrence died of Alzheimer's on November 27, 2003 in Haliburton County, Ontario, Canada.
RD Lawrence's many books are published in 26 countries and 15 languages and take us to animal habitats far from humans; to the boreal forests of North America alive with puma, beaver, bear, timber wolves and eagles, to the frigid waters of the Pacific Northwest where orcas thrive, and to the sharks of the Red Sea.
This was one of the very first non-fiction/personal story wolf biology books that I became exposed to, and from the very first chapter, I was hooked. There was and still is something intriguing about the manner in which the late Mr. Lawrence writes: a tone, a color, fused into his narratives and definitions like mountain air into one's own lungs. Though the book is certainly less on the technical end-of-things in comparison to a textbook from Mech, R.D. Lawrence has done a nice job bridging the gap between the facts and the entertainment. A well-blended book that makes for a great read.
