Ever wonder what it feels like to be a wolf? Come howl with author Scott Ian Barry and find out! From award-winning photographer Scott Ian Barry comes Wolf Empire—the
most comprehensive and stunning visual record of wolves ever published in black-and-white photography. In this world of fur and teeth, texture and shape, light and shadow, Barry creates a highly intimate look at wolves and their often-mystifying way of life. The author will present a slideshow of his photographs accompanied by a narrative in which he relates the circumstances that led to the taking of the photo, or some unique personal observation about wolf behavior gathered from his more than thirty years of experience as a wildlife photographer. His great reverence for these magnificent animals comes through in frame after frame of wolves in varying degrees of harmony and aggression, excitement and tranquility, cooperation and solitude—all part of their experience and essential to their survival. Barry's photographs show wolves for the individuals they are, a species as diverse as humans.
