In "The Last Wolf," Jim Crumley explores the place of the wolf in
Scotland--past, present and future--and challenges many of the
myths that have been regarded for centuries as biological fact.
Bringing to bear a lifetime's immersion in his native landscape and
more than twenty years as a professional nature writer, Crumley
questions much of the written evidence on the plight of the wolf in
light of contemporary knowledge and considers the wolf in today's
world, an examination that ranges from Highland Scotland to Devon
and from Yellowstone in North America to Norway and Italy, as he
pursues a more considered portrait of the animal than the history
books have previously offered. Within the narrative, Crumley also
examines the extraordinary phenomenon of wolf reintroductions
physically transforming the landscapes in which they live that even
the very colours of the land change under the influence of teeming
grasses, flowers, trees, butterflies, birds, and mammals that
flourish in their company, Crumley makes the case for their
reintroduction into Scotland with all the passion and poetic
fervour that has become the hallmark of his writing over the years.
This is an elegant, erudite and imaginative account that
readdresses the place of the wolf in modern Scotland.
