商品簡介
Not only was Canis lupus (the grey wolf) a common predator in Ireland's past, a perhaps unique Irish subspecies also permeates Irish culture, language expressions, and changing attitudes toward nature. Drawing on archeological records of the wolf-human relationship and Irish language wolf-related place names, Hickey (geography, National U. of Ireland Galway) presents wolf facts, associated folklore, and thoughts on wolf conservation and future research. The book includes past and present distribution maps, photographs of varieties (some now extinct), and a depiction of a wolf from a reproduced page of the Book of Kells.
