Symbols of beauty and mystery, wolves have always evoked both fear and admiration in humans – their only enemy. Through countless generations, the wolf has simply wanted to be left alone, to hunt, play and raise its young. Over the years, our attitude towards the wolf has changed dramatically. Early civilizations revered wolves as creators and helpers. In the Middle Ages, wolves became symbols of evil. In recent times wolves were nearly hunted to extinction. Today, the wolf is an icon of the wild, its howl a cry for preservation. It’s been quite a journey – from creator to feared killer to spiritual guardian of the wild. Wolf: Legend, Enemy, Icon chronicles the facts and stories, and includes breathtaking photographs and fascinating artifacts.

Immensely appealing and familiar to the millions of campers, hikers, and visitors to national parks across the United States and Canada, black bears are a symbol of the North American wilderness. Unlike the frequently photographed and documented grizzly and polar bear populations of the world, however the natural history of the common-yet secretive-black bear has largely remained a mystery. Complete with descriptive text, the remarkable photographs in this full-color volume capture the essence of the black bear in its elements, whether at play, raising cubs, or foraging for food. Set against a background of rustic woodlands and the changing seasons, noted wildlife photographer Daniel J. Cox chronicles the intimate details of the black bear’s life in the wild in this, the only book of its kind to focus exclusively on black bears in their native habitat.

Native to North America for the last 10,000 years and once found in every contiguous state and most Canadian provinces, the wild elk has been for centuries symbolic of the plenty and freedom of the continent’s wilderness.

This collection of beautiful full-color photographs by master photographer Dan Cox is divided into four chapters corresponding to the seasons of the year, depicting the wild elk in a range of pristine natural settings and at every stage of its life, from awkward calf to powerful, antlered adult. Including detailed captions and a fascinating introduction, Elk reveals the peaceable majesty of one of North America’s most magnificent mammals.
