Adolph Murie bol priekopníckym prírodovedcom, ktorý ako prvý študoval vlky v ich prirodzenom prostredí. Jeho rozsiahly terénny výskum v Arktíde a subarktickej Aljaške sa zameral na vlky, medvede a ďalšie cicavce a vtáky. Bol kľúčovou postavou v úsilí o ochranu vlkov pred vyhladením a o zachovanie biologickej integrity národných parkov Denali a Arctic. Jeho práca položila základy pre moderný terénny výskum divokej zveri.
Adolph Murie is one of the greatest naturalists of this century. Gradually, I've been collecting all of his books. Most of his books are reprints of his original government research with hazy old photos, but Mammals is modern and up to date, in a larger format with brilliant color photography. What an excellent addition to my library.
