For decades, wolves did the same for humans. But now this seems to be changing. In 2005, twenty-two-year-old Kenton Carnegie was killed in a wolf attack near his work camp. Part story, part forensic analysis, Cry Wolf examines this and other attacks, showing how we fail to take this apex predator seriously at our own peril.  \"A crucial and timely examination of our shifting relationship to the land in general and the Canis lupus in particular.\" —Eden Robinson, author of Son of a Trickster  \"Insightful . . . . Johnson eloquently argues that Traditional Ecological Knowledge and the wisdom of Indigenous people can help us better understand the true nature of predators such as wolves.\" —Cristina Eisenberg, PhD, author of The Wolf's Tooth and The Carnivore Way","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735724400913,"sku":"NGR9780889777385","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009229488401,"sku":"NIN9780889777385","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51323705491729,"sku":"CIN0889777381VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0889777381.jpg?v=1766224712"},{"product_id":"power-of-story-book-harold-r-johnson-9781771964876","title":"The Power of Story","description":"CA","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741043892497,"sku":"NGR9781771964876","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50400937804049,"sku":"CIN1771964871G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50985020817681,"sku":"GOR014160505","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51051010851089,"sku":"NIN9781771964876","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52122689831185,"sku":"NLS9781771964876","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53333136474385,"sku":"GOR014852800","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1771964871.jpg?v=1751444948"},{"product_id":"firewater-book-harold-r-johnson-9780889774377","title":"Firewater","description":"A passionate call to action, Firewater examines alcohol—its history, the myths surrounding it, and its devastating impact on Indigenous people.  Drawing on his years of experience as a Crown Prosecutor in Treaty 6 territory, Harold Johnson challenges readers to change the story we tell ourselves about the drink that goes by many names—booze, hooch, spirits, sauce, and the evocative \"firewater.\" Confronting the harmful stereotype of the \"lazy, drunken Indian,\" and rejecting medical, social, and psychological explanations of the roots of alcoholism, Johnson cries out for solutions, not diagnoses, and shows how alcohol continues to kill so many. Provocative, irreverent, and keenly aware of the power of stories, Firewater calls for people to make decisions about their communities and their lives on their own terms.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50281494511889,"sku":"NGR9780889774377","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50423795777809,"sku":"CIN0889774374G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50763457265937,"sku":"CIN0889774374VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009349189905,"sku":"NIN9780889774377","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53364033192209,"sku":"GOR010933180","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0889774374.jpg?v=1766224795"},{"product_id":"bjoerkan-sagas-book-harold-r-johnson-9781487009809","title":"The Bjoerkan Sagas","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrawing upon his Cree and Scandinavian roots, Harold R.

When Harold Johnson returns to his childhood home in a northern Indigenous community for his brother Clifford’s funeral, the first thing his eyes fall on is a chair. It stands on three legs, the fourth broken off and missing. So begins a journey through the past, a retrieval of recollections of his silent, powerful Swedish father; his formidable Cree mother; and his brother Clifford, a precocious young boy who is drawn to the mysterious workings of the universe. As the night unfolds, memories of Clifford surface in Harold’s mind’s eye. Memory, fiction, and fantasy collide, and Clifford comes to life as the scientist he was meant to be, culminating in his discovery of the Grand Unified Theory.  Exquisitely crafted, funny, visionary, and wholly moving, Clifford is an extraordinary work that embraces myriad forms of storytelling. To read it is to be immersed in a home, a family, a community, the wider world, the entire cosmos.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51029372141841,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51029376434449,"sku":"NIN9781487004101","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52667091878161,"sku":"NLS9781487004101","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1487004109.jpg?v=1770289518"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-harold-r-johnson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
