Myth and Science delightfully balanced!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
A veritable feast for nature-lovers in general and wolf-lovers in particular! Feher-Elson combines the best of ancient and modern perspectives to honor that most numinous creature: Wolf. In so doing, she demonstrates the power and balance of respecting both points of view. The result is a beatific vision of a creature that deserves the utmost reverence, despite being reviled by a barbarous segment of Western society. Together with Feher-Elston's "Ravensong," Wolfsong moves in the direction of restoring much-needed balance between scientific understanding and spiritual values. If only their wisdom could prevail in the attitudes and policies of current policy-makers at the local, national, and global level!! Dave
Wolfsong a powerful and moving tribute
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Wolfsong:A Natural and Fabulous History of Wolves,is a moving and powerful tribute to wolves and those involved in the struggle to protect them. The author, Catherine Feher-Elston begins with mythic interpretations of wolves and moves on through wolf evolution, wolf and human relationships and tries to help the reader understand why so many Europeans hated wolves while peoples of the Western hemisphere honored them. Wolfsong is the second in her Naturesong series--the first work, Ravensong: A Natural andFabulous History of Ravens and Crows was a beautiful work--a lyrical analysis and interpretation of the world through human and corvid relationships. Her approach integrates myth, religion, science and animal behavior and is truly powerful. Let's hope to see many more books in the Naturesong series.
