Wolves and hens and bears and owls and koalas — oh my! One of my favorite categories of books is nonfiction that combines the history and cutural foot(paw?)prints of a species alongside memoir, literary criticism, science, sociopolitical analysis, travelogue, ecological research.... really, any combination of the above.

O Author’s note: In 2017, during my second summer of graduate school at the U of M, I participated in a research stint at the U.K. Wolf Conservation Trust, a not-for-profit organization that housed seven wolves that had been born in captivity and were not able to live in the wild. This research was funded by a College of Liberal Arts Summer Research Fellowship and a Walter H. Judd International Graduate and Professional Fellowship.
