Living with Wolves

»Drawing from the natural sciences, social sciences and the humanities ‒ including behavioural ecology, the human dimensions of wildlife, environmental anthropology and animal geography ‒ this book is a great example of interdisciplinarity in practice. This book is an engaging, thought-provoking and stimulating read that is relevant not only for academics and practitioners but also for other interest groups as well as general readers interested in managing a shared (co)existence with non-human others.«

-- Valerio Donfrancesco * Conservation and Society, 1-2 ( 2024) *

»One of the main insights we get from this nicely written and well-argued book is that not all wolves are the same. As in relations between humans, knowing the idiosyncrasies of a specific wolf individual can be crucial for balancing encounters in an increasingly tight ecology ...The author seems right in observing that, whether we like it or not, current socioecological dynamics lead us to be ‘more and more entangled’ with wolves, wild boars, raccoons, ducks, nutrias, and many other wild species.«

»›Living with wolves‹ is an excellent example of multispecies ethnography. It is a timely intervention from a continent where large carnivores are undergoing a resurgence and increasingly coming into conflict with humans.«

* Marcus Baynes-Rock, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 1/23 (2026) *

»Die Lektüre eröffnet die Chance, soziale Ordnung auch von ihren tierischen Grenzen her zu denken – und damit gewohnte Kategorien wie Mensch, Natur, Kultur aber auch Verantwortung zu hinterfragen: Das wiederum ermöglicht einen präziseren soziologischen Blick auf Zusammenleben, Machtverhältnisse und Handlungsspielräume.«
