    Within a year, these new wolves had eliminated the Bow Valley wolves and established a dominance that would last for five years in the heart of Canada’s most famous national park.As the climactic chapter in a twenty-year observational study of wolves in Banff National Park, internationally respected wolf behaviour expert Günther Bloch and widely renowned wildlife photographer John E. Marriott followed the Pipestones through the trials and tribulations of raising their family in one of the world’s most heavily visited national parks.Bloch’s work involved patient, time-consuming observations day after day for five consecutive years, resulting in matchless ecological and behavioural insights that go beyond the usual information that comes from studying wild wolves using telemetry and radio collaring. Bloch outlines the differences between a wolf pack and a wolf family, he describes A- and B-type personalities in wolves and how this impacted survival rates of the Pipestone pups and yearlings in the Bow Valley. He also details the three societal types of wild wolves, debunking the age-old myth of a pecking order from alphas to omegas, based on what he was able to observe in person with these wild wolves.Throughout the book, Bloch and Marriott describe some of the incredible wolf behaviour they were fortunate enough to witness as part of the study. They watched a yearling female called Blizzard play with a mouse in the middle of the road for twenty minutes one frigid winter morning and saw the family playing tug-of-war one afternoon with a pair of men’s boxer shorts. The most interesting observation was near the end of the family’s dominance when a yearling named Yuma brought food repeatedly to a young pup called Sunshine that had suffered a broken leg after getting hit by a train. Sunshine lived on to become the last surviving member of the family.The book chronicles not only the rise of the Pipestones and how they established and maintained dominance in the valley, but also how an increase in mass tourism in Banff led to a decrease in prey density for the Pipestones, which in turn led to the wolves changing their hunting strategies and expanding their summer range. Bloch explains how the Pipestones faced an inevitable fall from the top as pressure from eager wolf watchers increased exponentially in the park at the same time the Wolves' prey base was shrinking rapidly. Combining these influences with other factors like rail mortality and old age, Bloch and Marriott knew the end was near for the Pipestones.The authors conclude with insights into how wolf and wildlife management in Banff National Park can improve. They outline steps Parks Canada should be taking to deal with the human management problems that are really at the core of the wildlife issues in the park. They also discuss whether we can continue to maintain a balance between ecological integrity and mass tourism in Canada’s flagship park and whether it is already too late. Have we passed the point of no return? And will our Banff wolves live forever after in a wildlife ghetto devoid of true wilderness characteristics?

    After saving her life when they were children, he disappeared and the yearly rose is the only proof of his existence. When her childhood crush returns home – all grown up and a positive beast of a man – Mirabelle is eager to have the man of her dreams. But Bennett’s hiding his true nature and wants to keep his “Belle” from discovering the truth. Ella Ella Cinders is looking for a fresh start. Tired of working for her stepmother’s cleaning company and anxious to start her own massage therapy business, she’ll do anything – even accepting Duncan Gillis as a client. She hates the arrogant, golden-haired playboy who pulled her braids when they were children and was witness to her most humiliating moment, so why does his touch make her blood burn? Why does his insistence that she belongs to him make her want to join him in his bed? And why does her touch make him purr? Red Rowan Jameson knows what she wants, and what she wants is local landscaper and the sexiest man in the whole damn town - Rafe Taggert. He might be fifteen years older than her and he might have an odd obsession with the moon and strolling naked through the woods, but she’s had a crush on him for years. She’s delighted when she discovers Rafe’s hidden desire for her and, with the help of her friends and her grandmother, Rowan will take exactly what she wants.

    Ironic considering that's what my hipster loving, sex addicted mother named me. Instead of dealing with my mother's woo-woo touchy feely ways, I'd rather keep my mind and my weak ass magic focused on business.Today of all days, I especially can't deal. Not only do I have a meeting with some influential investors that I need to expand my skin care line, it's also my fiftieth birthday. That's right. The big 5-0. Ugh. Witches may not age like humans so I don't look a day over twenty-five. But in my business age is everything and my customers expect, well, magic.So the fact I woke up this morning in the form of a white wolf is kind of a problem. Witches can't shift, so why the hell am I looking at a wolf in the mirror?As if that wasn't enough, there's a silver fox now trying to sniff my butt. The fact he shifts into a smoking hot Gerard Butler look alike with a salt and pepper beard shouldn't matter. Uhhhh... Now he wants to be my guide for a cross country road trip to some nowhere town in West Virginia so I can figure out what's wrong with me. This should be epic. Not. Go ahead, cue the banjos. If you don't hear from me in a week, please send help.
