In 2011 a GPS-collared wolf named Slavc crossed the Alps from Slovenia into Italy and helped re-establish wolves in the Italian Alps. Journalist Adam Weymouth retraces Slavc’s route on foot, using the wolf’s return to explore local reactions, human–nature conflicts, migration, political tensions, and environmental change. The book uses Slavc’s journey as a lens to consider how movement across borders reshapes communities and landscapes.

"A Woman Among Wolves" by Diane K. Boyd is a memoir that chronicles the author's journey as a wildlife biologist dedicated to wolf conservation in Montana. Set against the backdrop of the rugged wilderness near Glacier National Park, Boyd shares her experiences from the 1970s onward, a time when wolves were widely misunderstood and feared. Living in a remote cabin, she embarked on a mission to study and protect these majestic creatures, often working alone in challenging conditions. Through her efforts, Boyd highlights the delicate balance between humans and wolves, introducing readers to Kishinena, a significant wolf in the species' resurgence in the western United States. Her story is one of passion, resilience, and the enduring spirit of both the wolves and herself.
