Gary Ferguson, an award-winning nature writer and co-author of Decade of the Wolf, has been selected for a one-week residency Nov. 9-15 as the 2008 Everybody Reads author. Everybody Reads is a regional program with libraries, bookstores and colleges in the Lewiston/Clarkston Valley and across the Palouse encouraging all citizens to read the same book. Public discussions and author appearances are slated to follow in a variety of locations; the schedule to be announced shortly.

“Written in 2005 by Doug Smith and Gary Ferguson, Decade of the Wolf describes the journey of thirty-one Canadian gray wolves that were released in 1995 and 1996 into Yellowstone National Park and the people who faithfully followed them. With recently updated poignant details about the lives of these animals, including moving stories about survival and family dynamics, Decade of the Wolf serves to mark the end of the opening act of this inspired, often tumultuous tale of preservation. The wolves have not only survived but completely changed the ecosystem, spilling a fresh measure of wildness across the world's first national park”. – Decade of the Wolf

The Wolf Education & Research Center is proud to partner with the Everybody Reads program in welcoming Gary Ferguson.
