Robert Redford Knihy

Autor, nechává nahlédnout do života vlčích smeček a prožít příběhy jednotlivých vlčích jedinců. Tedy především jednoho z nich - vlka 8, který se dokázal z nejmenšího, šikanovaného mláděte vypracovat v největšího vlka, který kdy žil. Autor strávil studiem a sledováním vlků v amerických národních parcích více než čtyřicet let. Tyto šelmy se mu podařilo zahlédnout na stotisíckrát a deník, v němž si vede záznamy z pozorování, čítá dvanáct tisíc stránek. Jeho práce přinesla zatím nejdetailnější obraz o tom, jak vlci žijí, jak se chovají a jak pravděpodobně přemýšlejí.

Rozprávanie o štyroch obrancoch kaňonov amerického severozápadu bolo inšpirované vznikom sabotovania ako spôsobu boja niektorých ochranárov. Hoci sabotážne praktiky neboli nikdy ekofilozofmi oficiálne schválené, stali sa bežnými u takých ochranárskych skupín ako Earth First!. Sám Abbey obhajuje tieto akcie namierené proti „rozvoju spoločnosti“ a považuje ich v niektorých prípadoch za ospravedlniteľné hlavne z morálneho hľadiska.
