When Rick Lamplugh reports for just work at the historic Lamar Buffalo Ranch on New Year’s Eve, he has one objective: to understand whenever you can about the ecology from the Lamar Valley and how wolves easily fit into. He provides three frigid weeks to explore on skis and snowshoes, to see with all his senses, also to listen to and talk to experts.

Lamplugh’s writing goes with him seeing that he watches winter-hungry elk and bison migrate to the Lamar Valley to graze. As wolves, coyotes, and mountain lions stalk the grazers while eagles, ravens, and magpies wait around to scavenge. As the snowy backdrop brings this saga of death and existence into sharp focus and helps it be unforgettable.

A literary mixture of specifics and emotions, In the Temple of Wolves celebrates nature’s stark beauty and the need for wolves, while revealing Lamplugh’s inner fights with his very own human nature.
