Depressing, gruesome, exasperating, and various other things. It drives me crazy how nobody seems to care about urban renewal. It's amazing how Baltimore got worse after this. The one thing perhaps lacking in this book is that it's totally from the cops perspective, but I guess that's why we have the Corner...and now we have the Wire.

I'm trying to decide whether I like this more than the others or not (for some reason I read the first one last). It's slightly more thorough than his later efforts and perhaps a little more ambitious. On the other hand, it's probably easier to poke holes in if I felt like trying. As usual, he tells a great story and I want to believe that he's totally right, even though I know he's not. It's certainly worth reading if you are in any kind of sales or marketing job, and it's also just interesting if you're intersted in peple. Can't we all just recognize that human beings change constantly, already?

The story looks like following- wolves are suspected of killing wild arctic caribou. Mowat is assigned to discover the truth and investigate the issue. He goes to cold and dense tundra to live alone among pack of wild wolves. However, he doesn't perceive them as killing monsters or deadly weapon. He finds a common language with them.Mowat says an interesting story, he observed the family of wolves, gave them names and got really close to them. He somehow immersed into this wild world, he adjusted to the rules that the wolves gave to his. He wasn't a master there any more, he was on wolves's land and he showed them respect and tells us their story. It is really superbly written, entertaining and informative. High four stars !

I liked this book.
