Long regarded in folk tales and history as a slayer of babies, a robber of graves, a devourer of battlefield dead, its extinction was widely celebrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut since then, deer have multiplied, destroying the vegetation on which an array of wildlife depends, and it is clear that the entire Highland ecosystem has been thrown off balance by the elimination of a top predator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJim Crumley believes the old stories are pure fiction—a distortion of reality which prevents people from thinking rationally about the huge benefits wolves could bring. With reference to wolves in other cultures and places, from the south-west of England to Scandinavia and North America, this is a passionate polemic which argues for the return of the wolf to heal the damaged land.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jim Crumley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56680173338997,"sku":"9781780279817","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/4075\/2426\/files\/9781780279817.jpg?v=1769795905","url":"https:\/\/sherlockandpages.com\/products\/the-last-wolf-by-jim-crumley-9781780279817","provider":"Sherlock \u0026 Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
