Ian McAllister Knihy

For seventeen years, Ian McAllister has lived on the rugged north coast of British Columbia, one of the last places on the planet where wolves live relatively undisturbed by humans. The Last Wild Wolves describes his experiences over that period following two packs of wolves, one in the extreme outer coastal islands and another farther inland in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest. The behavior of these animals -- which depend on the vast old-growth forest and its gifts -- is documented in words and pictures as they fish for salmon in the fall, target seals hauled out on rocks in winter, and give birth to their young in the base of thousand-year-old cedar trees in spring. Most interestingly, scientific studies reveal a genetically distinct population of wolves -- one that is increasingly threatened by human incursions.

"A testament to the miraculous beings that share our planet, The Wild in You is a creative collaboration between a lauded nature photographer and an internationally renowned poet. Inspired by the majestic and savage beauty of a place where forest and sea meet, Ian McAllister's photographs and Lorna Crozier's poetry come together to translate the fierce emotion of the wilderness into the language of the human heart. Featuring over thirty beautiful full-size photographs of wolves, bears, sea lions, jellyfish, and other wild creatures paired with original poems, The Wild in You challenges the reader to a deeper understanding of the connection between humans, animals, and our earth." -- Book jacket
