    Wish i could be there! wishing everyone a successful conference!

  2. Chris H says:

    Have a great time Ralph, attending a wolf conference is both fun and enlightening ( at least I think so). Will there be any way to get a copy of some, if not all, of the presentations? That is to say perhaps something more than the abstracts?
    Thanks Ralph and again enjoy – wea wait your report back!

    I second Chris’s request for more detailed info on the presentations. Having attended last year’s conference in Flagstaff and gleaned a wealth of information from it, I was really bummed that we couldn’t make it this year. Next year we’ll get registered on the very first day!

  4. Janet says:

    Yes I wish I would be there as well! I will be visiting Livingston Friday and hope to hear all about it.

  5. Lori says:

    I would also be interested in knowing how to obtain a copy of the presentations.

  6. The abstracts will be put in pdf form.

    Many people gave powerpoint presentations and said the research was not final, and would be submitted to scientific publications (meaning expensive to the general public)

    A presentation without at least a hard copy draft paper would not be acceptable at a political science convention (my discipline).

    I will try to summarize some after I’m home, off the laptop, and done roaming around.

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."
