Once a Wolf by Bryan Sykes

 


Well, I did not meet my goal of 31 books in 31 days.  But, 23 isn't so bad a total!  I saved this one for last so that my new assistant Shyne could pose with the book.  She'd rather eat it.  Wolf indeed.

I have really wanted to update our collection's holdings in math and science.  It's been difficult in that things are moving so quickly, by the time I'm able to get something on our wish list, wait for ordering to roll around in May, for the order to be placed in July, for the shipment to arrive in September, whatever I saw that piqued my interest is probably already obsolete!  So instead I've been looking for non-science and math lead topics that incorporate them.  

Oh, and I love dogs.

So how did two completely opposite species, who at one time were likely fighting over the same food sources, become best friends?  How did the vicious wolf end up watching Animal Planet on human couches?  In what ways has our DNA changed and stayed the same over our evolutionary paths?

This was really amusing and makes the science easy to understand.  I liked it so much I put another of the author's works on our wish list.
