SCOTT IAN BARRY: About the Author Pioneering environmentalist, Scott Ian Barry, is one of a handful of people, who, in the politically charged Watergate-era of the 1970s, helped create the concept of presenting live wolves to educate the citizens of North America. Since that time, he has worked first hand with 40 wolves, lived with 10, and observed the behavior of over 100. He has personally performed 2,500 lectures at schools, universities and museums, and is the only human being in the history of New Yorks Carnegie Hall to present a live wolf on-stage, who howled with a sold out audience of 2.200 people. His other lecture venues include: The Smithsonian Institute; The U.S. Department of the Interior; The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, The School of Wildlife Management (Columbia, Missouri); The Canadian National Exhibition; The Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation (Eagle Butte, South Dakota); and most recently, The American Museum of Natural History. Mr. Barry has aided the states of New York, New Jersey and Maryland in forming legislation on the ownership of wolves and wolf-dog hybrids. He has lobbied in Congress to support The Federal Airborne Hunting Act, to halt the shooting of wolves in Alaska from aircraft, and has met with President Carter on behalf of wolves and the environment. His extraordinary photographs of wolves have appeared in his first book, The Kingdom of Wolves (G.P. Putnams Sons), which was chosen as an Outstanding Science Trade Book Award by The National Science Teachers Association; and in his own best-selling calendars for 2004 and 2006 (Browntrout, and Portal Publications); on NBCs Today Show; The New York Times; The Chicago Sun-Times; The Washington Post; The Toronto Star; Rangefinder Magazine; Audubon Magazine; The Smithsonian Institution; and many other publications throughout North America. After privately viewing Mr. Barrys award-winning wolf portfolio, revered photographer, Ansel Adams, invited Scott to his home in Carmel, California, calling his images, striking, generous portraits. Scott Ian Barry is the author of the following critically acclaimed books: WOLF EMPIRE (The Lyons Press) THE STREETER (TOR BOOKS/St. Martins Press) CASTLES OF NEW YORK (SUNY Press) TOTEMS (BASFAL Books) THE KINGDOM OF WOLVES (G.P.
