Wolf Island: Discovering the Secrets of a Mythic Animal By: Greg Breining, L David Mech [Audiobook]

Author: L. David Mech, Greg Breining – contributor, Rolf O. Peterson – foreword
Narrated by: Stephen R. Thorne

In the late 1940s, a small pack of wolves crossed the ice of Lake Superior to the island wilderness of Isle Royale, creating a perfect “laboratory” for a long-term study of predators and prey. As the wolves hunted and killed the island’s moose, a young graduate student named Dave Mech began research that would unlock the mystery of one of nature’s most revered (and reviled) animals – and eventually became an internationally renowned and respected wolf expert. This is the story of those early years. 

Wolf Island recounts three extraordinary summers and winters Mech spent on the isolated outpost of Isle Royale National Park, tracking and observing wolves and moose on foot and by airplane – and upending the common misperception of wolves as destructive killers of insatiable appetite. Mech sets the scene with one of his most thrilling encounters: witnessing an aerial view of a spectacular hunt, then venturing by snowshoe to photograph the pack of hungry wolves at their kill. Wolf Island owes as much to the spirit of adventure as to the impetus of scientific curiosity. Written with science and outdoor writer Greg Breining, who recorded hours of interviews with Mech and had access to his journals and field notes from those years, the book captures the immediacy of scientific fieldwork in all its triumphs and frustrations.

Book Description
================
In the late 1940s, a small pack of wolves crossed the ice of Lake
 Superior to the island wilderness of Isle Royale, creating a 
perfect "laboratory" for a long-term study of predators and prey.
 As the wolves hunted and killed the island's moose, a young 
graduate student named Dave Mech began research that would unlock
 the mystery of one of nature's most revered (and reviled) 
animals-and eventually became an internationally renowned and 
respected wolf expert. This is the story of those early years.
Wolf Island recounts three extraordinary summers and winters Mech
 spent on the isolated outpost of Isle Royale National Park, 
tracking and observing wolves and moose on foot and by 
airplane-and upending the common misperception of wolves as 
destructive killers of insatiable appetite. Mech sets the scene 
with one of his most thrilling encounters: witnessing an aerial 
view of a spectacular hunt, then venturing by snowshoe to 
photograph the pack of hungry wolves at their kill. Wolf Island 
owes as much to the spirit of adventure as to the impetus of 
scientific curiosity. Written with science and outdoor writer 
Greg Breining, who recorded hours of interviews with Mech and had
 access to his journals and field notes from those years, the 
book captures the immediacy of scientific fieldwork in all its 
triumphs and frustrations.
