Description: HERE ARE 4 BOOKS BY BARRY LOPEZ:#1 OF WOLVES AND MENBarry Holstun LopezCharles Scribner's Sons, New York, NY, 1978, First Edition, Third PrintingLarge format hardcover, near very good condition, dust jacket is poor, but present in one pieceIn Of Wolves and Men, an immensely talented and perceptive write shows us not only the wolf of the scientist but the wolf of the Eskimo and the Indian, the wolf of the wolf killer, the wolf of the imagination - werewolves, feral children, the wolf of folklore and fable - and in so doing creates a compelling picture of both the wolf as animal and the wolf that man has created.Barry Lopez draws the reader irresistibly into the world of the wolf and the ideas that surround him. With the vision of a poet, he sorts truth from untruth to come as close as one can to an understanding of how man creates animals. In reading Of Wolves and Men we not only learn a great deal about wolves, but we come face to face with ourselves. #2 CROSSING OPEN GROUNDBarry LopezVintage Books, A Division of Random House, New York, NY, 1988 9th PrintingTrade softcover, near very good conditionBarry Lopez, winner of the 1986 American Book Award for Artic Dreams, weaves the same invigorating spell in Crossing Open Ground.

In this collection of seventeen spellbinding essays, Lopez travels from Hokkaido to the Galapagos, from Bonaire to Antarctica. He explores, too, his own youth: his peaceful childhood in rural California and the family's move to the contrasting world of New York City. Hauntingly lyrical, strikingly unsentimental, these pieces represent Barry Lopez's most personal - and some of his most moving - work to date. #4 FIELD NOTES The Grace Note of The Canyon WrenBarry LopezAvon Books, Inc., New York, NY, 1995, 2nd PrintingTrade softcover, very good conditionA scientist sees wild animals in empty urban spaces.... A Gravely ill woman weaves her desires into luminous cloth... An anthropologist seeks redemption in the bush but is thwarted by an aboriginal people's indifference to natural violent.
