Originally published in 1978, this classic exploration of humanity’s complex relationship with and understanding of wolves returns with a new afterword by the author. Humankind's relationship with the wolf is the sum of a spectrum of responses ranging from fear to admiration and affection. Lopez’s classic, careful study has won praise from a wide range of reviewers and improved the way books on wild animals are written. Of Wolves and Men explores the uneasy interaction between wolves and civilization over the centuries, and the wolf's prominence in our thoughts about wild creatures. Drawing upon an impressive array of literature, history, science, and mythology as well as extensive personal experience with captive and free-ranging wolves, Lopez argues for the wolf's preservation and immerses the reader in its sensory world, creating a compelling portrait of the wolf both as a real animal and as imagined by different kinds of men. A scientist might perceive the wolf as defined by research data, while an Eskimo hunter sees a family provider much like himself. For many Native Americans the wolf is also a spiritual symbol, a respected animal that can strengthen the individual and the community. With irresistible charm and elegance, Of Wolves and Men celebrates careful scientific fieldwork, dispels folklore that has enabled the Western mind to demonize wolves, explains myths, and honors indigenous traditions, allowing us to understand how this remarkable animal has become so prominent for so long in the human heart.

Their friendship will be tested as their gods resume an unending war, and their very faiths call for the death of the other. Together, friend or foe, they must face Redclaw's horde. NIGHT OF WOLVES by David Dalglish Can faith remain when the gods call for blood?

The story was fast-paced and packed with action. With all the twists and turns, I never knew what would happen next. Some of the events were graphic and violent. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. The role-players were well-developed and authentic. My favorite character was Aisling. She started as a teenager who was bullied and became a fearless and self-assured woman. The story was brilliantly written, and it exceeded my expectations by far. Reviewed by Stephanie Chapman for Readers’ Favorite ....Eileen Sheehan built suspense in several areas with Aisling, whose definition of mean girls was equivalent to real high school cliques. The first-person narration gave a clear view of what went through Aisling's mind with each new challenge. I share Aisling's view that her mother's fixation with witchcraft left her vulnerable and neglected. The smooth transitions from one event to another were easy to follow and provided a basic timeline. The details were vivid, especially with the surroundings in the forest. I could imagine the lush foliage and walking along the paths winding through the trees. The detailed descriptions of the different mythical creatures were fascinating. The end of the story left a clear opening for a sequel. Magic and character progression make Aisling a great read for fantasy fans. Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite ...Author Eileen Sheehan really takes her central protagonist on a deeply emotional journey in this novel, and it’s that intense investment in Aisling’s personal growth that will keep readers coming back for more as each action-packed chapter challenges her to grow and develop in new and unexpected ways. I really appreciated the author’s craft when it comes to speech and thought presentation, as the up-close narrative lets us get a deeper sense of what’s going on in Aisling’s head and heart as she falls in love, discovers her own powers and becomes a newly-empowered version of her former self. The description of witchcraft and the magical elements of the story were also very cinematically realized and exciting to read about. Overall, I would definitely recommend Aisling: In the Land of Wolves as a promising start to an enthralling fantasy trilogy and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

When a group of scientific adventurers are swallowed up by the Hollow Earth below, this submarine arctic expedition discovers more than it could have ever hoped. Happening upon ghastly beasts and unfriendly foes within a lost underworld, prehistoric animals soon reveal new wonders of scientific discovery with no mercy. But when the group later discover a race of vicious wolf-men and the remnants of an ancient civilisation, they must now question life on earth as we know it. Not just the beginning of our civilisation – but the dawn of the end itself. Weaving a rip-roaring tale of adventure, discovery and fright, Frank Powell’s ‘The Wolf-Men’ is said to be one of the first science-fiction books about lost worlds and lost races. Crafting an unmissable journey into a new world, 'The Wolf-Men' is the ideal adventure for fans of ‘Avatar’, 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth', and 'Jurassic Park'. Frank Powell (1845-1906) was an American author, celebrated for his widely successful science-fiction novel ‘The Wolf-Men’. Credited today as one of the first science-fiction books about lost world’s and lost races, Powell kick-started a genre of fiction that would deep dive into imaginative, and often frightening, worlds. Powell was also an influential figure in the literary creation ‘Buffalo Bill’. Whilst it is not entirely clear whether this series was published by Powell himself or Colonel Prentiss Ingraham (1942-1904), readers of Powell can expect a journey like no other, full of wonder and might throughout.

"The Wolf-Men: A Tale of Amazing Adventure in the Under-World" by David Franklin Powell is one of Powell's lesser-known novels, but it's also one of his most exciting. A man of the wild west, Powell writes about action and adventure. It's the story of imaginative boys as they conduct a lost race about the discovery of an underground world filled with monsters from earth's prehistory, others, such as giant spiders, and a race of vicious subhuman creatures, the wolf-men.

First published in 1951, Man into Wolf attempts to suggest the possibility of historical, or rather prehistorical, evolutionist derivation of all crimes of violence, from the individual attack on life known as murder or manslaughter to the collective organized killing which we call war. The author has tried to show that the evidence from prehistory can be made intelligible on the theory of Jung’s archetypes surviving in the collective conscience and revealing themselves all over the world in legends, myths and rites. He discusses, in the notes on the lecture, every possible aspect of the subject ranging from the perverseness of the Marquis de Sade to the Grecian Bacchantes, and from the Green Men and the agricultural ceremonies to a case study of John George Haigh. This book will be of interest to students of anthropology, gender studies, and psychology.
