New major book on wolves
I assume this replaces “Wolves: Behavior, Ecology and Conservation”, ed. by Mech and Botiani-
The above is a very important book that I consult often and learned a great deal from. It is time for an update given all the recent research.
The new book is The World of Wolves: New Perspectives on Ecology, Behavior and Management. Edited by Musiani, Botiani, and Paquet
I just preordered it from Amazon.com for only $24. It will be $35 when it comes out later this month.
Update: Amazon has canceled pre-orders on this book. Larry Zuckerman posted in comments that these men have another new book out: “A New Era for Wolves and Men”
see: http://www.amazon.com/New-Era-Wolves-People-Environment/dp/1552382702. I ordered that one instead.

Thanks Ralph! Just pre-ordered a copy myself.
From the chapters I’ve seen it looks like it will be a collection of very interesting special topics but not a comprehensive one-stop for wolf information like the Mech and Boitani book.
they have a companion book also that has already been released:
A New Era for Wolves and Men
see: http://www.amazon.com/New-Era-Wolves-People-Environment/dp/1552382702
FYI, This morning I received an e-mail from Amazon cancelling my order due to lack of availability. However you can be placed on an e-mail notification list if you wish.
Yes, I got that too. I’d better put up a note
