Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A post-apocalyptic debut novel in a tradition that includes The Hunger Games and Station Eleven, this vision of a possible future shows humanity pushed beyond its breaking point, the forging of vital bonds when everything is lost, and, most centrally, a heroic young woman who crosses a frozen landscape to find her destiny. Lynn McBride has learned much since society collapsed in the face of nuclear war and the relentless spread of disease. As the memories of her old life continue to surface, she’s forced to forge ahead in the snow-drifted Canadian Yukon, learning how to hunt and trap and slaughter. Forget the old days. Forget summer. Forget warmth. Forget anything that doesn’t help you survive in the endless white wilderness beyond the edges of a fallen world. Shadows of the world before have found her tiny community—most prominently in the enigmatic figure of Jax, who brings with him dark secrets of the past and sets in motion a chain of events that will call Lynn to a role she never imagined. “With elements of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road and TV’s The Walking Dead, (Kirkus Reviews) The Wolves of Winter is both a heartbreaking, sympathetic portrait of a young woman searching for the answer to who she's meant to be and a frightening vision of a merciless new world in which desperation rules. It is enthralling, propulsive, and poignant.

Book excerpt: Enter the northern Yukon, 14,000 years ago, the world of Zhoh: The Spirit of the Wolf. You don't have to tax your imagination. The author Hayes, a biologist and keen observer, recreates the era and the landscape for you. Bison, mammoths, ravens, lion, wolves (zhoh), short-faced bears...and, of course, humans populate this stunningly harsh environment. Conflicts and connections become real as both animals and humans search for survival, food, shelter, safety and family. This historical fiction recreates in realistic detail this world, where the thread of life is often short and slender and gives readers vital insights into a fascinating period into the continuum of life. -- Joyce Sward, longtime teacher, lover of stories, and organizer for 30 years of annual Yukon Writers' Festival and Yukon Young Authors' Conference. The Spirit of the Wolf is Book Two in the Zhoh series. It is the epic story of prehistoric survival at the end of the Ice Age as the great herds of steppe horses, bison, and mammoths are disappearing. In Book One, Zhoh: The Clan of the Wolf, Kazan and Naali lose their families to a series of disasters and must survive a brutal winter alone on the tundra-steppe. With the help of Zhoh, their semi-tame wolf, Naali's remarkable dream-travel powers, and Kazan's growing skills as a hunter, they defeat Barik, Naali's treacherous brother, and One-Eye, a murdurous bushman. In Book Two, Zhoh: The Spirit of the Wolf, Naali and Kazan are reunited with Kazan's mother, Assan, and his sister, So'tsal. Now Wolf Band, with the help of Zhoh, must continue their quest to find other humans or perish. As Naali becomes a woman, her growing spirit powers threaten to destroy her and put the band's survival at risk. Wolf Band must defeat a gigantic short-faced bear and face One-Eye and the Skin Stealers, a band of dangerous men who have murdered Naali's relatives and kidnapped Jidii, her young cousin. In pursuit of the Skin Stealers is Naali's uncle, Kural, a young hunter who has no hope of freeing Jidii alone. Woven through this human saga is the story of Grey-Eye, Zhoh's wolf mother, and her pack, who play a key role in Wolf Band's struggles.

Download or read book The Yukon Wolf Conservation and Management Plan written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A process to review the 1992 Yukon Wolf Conservation and Management Plan began in July 2010. The Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board and the Yukon government established a six-person review committee consisting of an equal number of delegates from each party. As a result of developments in scientific knowledge and jurisdictional authorities, wolf management has changed considerably since the 1992 Plan was released. Given these changes, a new plan was needed to meet the requirements of Yukon land claim agreements, including the roles and responsibilities of First Nation governments and the Inuvialuit, boards and councils, and the use of local, traditional and scientific knowledge in wolf management; reflect and balance the broad range of values for effective wolf management; reflect the new understanding of predator-prey ecosystems, in particular the short-term effects of wolf reduction on prey populations and the resilience of wolves to these reductions; establish wolf management programs that remove hindrances for individuals who want to hunt and trap wolves; and more closely link wolf management to the management of their primary prey species, moose and caribou. This plan provides long term guidance on how wolf populations should be managed in Yukon. It provides principles and values to guide decision makers, and identifies specific goals.--Document.

Book excerpt: On a wilderness trek from the Yukon River to the Dempster Highway a man with his three dogs comes across a grizzly bear trying to kill a moose in a small river in front of his camp with two wolves watching in the wings. He worries that the bear might set his sights on him, and questions what he's really doing so far out here away from civilization. The realization that bears are in charge out here, not humans, hits home hard, and it is only by their good grace that they let us live. Excerpt: There were no fond farewells this time around. No one was at my house to see me off on my adventure to the Yukon, to wish me bon voyage or Godspeed and all that. It was just the dogs and me hitting the open road in the early morning light with their heads hanging out the windows, their wiry beards rustling in the wind. My girlfriend Marion had left for California where she was attending a Buddhist retreat for a month, so we had already said our goodbyes two days ago. I worried that my leaving might ruin our relationship and that we might never see each other again. I had gone to Sierra's house the night before and gotten Billie, the treasurable dog we had when we were together. We both still adored her like she was our child. None of my brothers lived in town, and they were, like usual, too caught up in their own busy affairs to wish me well to do on my journey. I called my mother the day before and she kept insisting that I be careful so she wouldn't have to worry. After all these years, she still had no idea what I went through out there, probably much more than she figured. One summer I almost starved to death. Another I almost drowned - goes with the territory. A doubtful part of my brain asked myself what was it all for. After five days I rolled into Dawson City road weary under a sun that never set. The dogs in the back seat were looking out the windows for anything that moved - a squirrel preferably. A cat would be their second choice. A leaf blowing across the road was something. They watched with bulging eyes until they were certain it was not alive. These big-boned Airedales didn't miss a thing. I never knew when they were going to bark in my ear, so I wore ear plugs most of the time when I drove. Their hunting voices could damage ear drums. They were itching to create some havoc. "Easy, dumb heads," I said softly. "I love you guys to death, but good lord take it easy. Your time will come, don't worry." They needed a good hard run for a couple of hours very soon because all I had been able to do for the entire drive was take them out for short bathroom breaks, which was no way enough for eager Airedales. They needed unfettered rampaging across the land, and I needed to go one hundred miles into raw, wild country. Before it was too late. "I got to find the liquor store," I said. I glanced back. All three were sitting on their haunches with eyes fixed on things outside. "Don't bark. Whatever you do, don't bark for chrissakes, not yet." I motored along the waterfront at an idle. I thought the liquor store was three or so blocks in toward the hills, which started up abruptly at about block twelve. There really wasn't much space for a town here, with the river on one side and the hills on the other, so buildings were crammed in pretty tight. Humans had a way of shoving a town in anywhere. There wasn't any room for growth, so new buildings had to be built along the highway as you came into town, and houses and businesses were being built for miles along it. If you had a business, though, you wanted it to be in town. That was where the tourists went. In summer people from all over the world came here to get a glimpse of what the frontier mining days must have been like. I turned after the grocery store and putted inland. I finally found the liquor store on Third Street and pulled over out front. I left the windows halfway down for the dogs since it was already warm.

Download or read book Wolves written by L. David Mech and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wolves are some of the world's most charismatic and controversial animals, capturing the imaginations of their friends and foes alike. Highly intelligent and adaptable, they hunt and play together in close-knit packs, sometimes roaming over hundreds of square miles in search of food. Once teetering on the brink of extinction across much of the United States and Europe, wolves have made a tremendous comeback in recent years, thanks to legal protection, changing human attitudes, and efforts to reintroduce them to suitable habitats in North America. As wolf populations have rebounded, scientific studies of them have also flourished. But there hasn't been a systematic, comprehensive overview of wolf biology since 1970. In Wolves, many of the world's leading wolf experts provide state-of-the-art coverage of just about everything you could want to know about these fascinating creatures. Individual chapters cover wolf social ecology, behavior, communication, feeding habits and hunting techniques, population dynamics, physiology and pathology, molecular genetics, evolution and taxonomy, interactions with nonhuman animals such as bears and coyotes, reintroduction, interactions with humans, and conservation and recovery efforts. The book discusses both gray and red wolves in detail and includes information about wolves around the world, from the United States and Canada to Italy, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Israel, India, and Mongolia. Wolves is also extensively illustrated with black and white photos, line drawings, maps, and fifty color plates. Unrivalled in scope and comprehensiveness, Wolves will become the definitive resource on these extraordinary animals for scientists and amateurs alike. “An excellent compilation of current knowledge, with contributions from all the main players in wolf research. . . . It is designed for a wide readership, and certainly the language and style will appeal to both scientists and lucophiles alike. . . . This is an excellent summary of current knowledge and will remain the standard reference work for a long time to come.”—Stephen Harris, New Scientist “This is the place to find almost any fact you want about wolves.”—Stephen Mills, BBC Wildlife Magazine
Download or read book Yellowstone Wolves written by Douglas W. Smith and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated volume on the Yellowstone Wolf Project includes an introduction by Jane Goodall and an exclusive online documentary. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park was one of the greatest wildlife conservation achievements of the twentieth century. Eradicated after the park was first established, these iconic carnivores returned in 1995 when the US government reversed its century-old policy of extermination. In the intervening decades, scientists have built a one-of-a-kind field study of these wolves, their behaviors, and their influence on the entire ecosystem. Yellowstone Wolves tells the incredible story of the Yellowstone Wolf Project, as told by the people behind it. This wide-ranging volume highlights what has been learned in the decades since reintroduction, as well as the unique blend of research techniques used to gain this knowledge. We learn about individual wolves, population dynamics, wolf-prey relationships, genetics, disease, management and policy, and the rippling ecosystem effects wolves have had on Yellowstone’s wild and rare landscape. Featuring a foreword by Jane Goodall, beautiful images, a companion online documentary by celebrated filmmaker Bob Landis, and contributions from more than seventy wolf and wildlife conservation luminaries from Yellowstone and around the world, Yellowstone Wolves is an informative and beautifully realized celebration of the extraordinary Yellowstone Wolf Project.
