"A beautiful enlightened record of a unique event: The photographs are spectacular, the text is a passionate defense of the mountain lion and its presence in Jackson Hole. Spirit of the Rockies is the most intimate view of a wild mountain lion we have - a gift from the lion world to our own, a gift we can study and enjoy, a gift that will help transform our ignorance and fear of this majestic predator into a respect and an admiration of the wild." - Jack Turner, author, The Abstract Wild. "The shadow cat does not roar but purrs. Enjoy these wonderful pictures and then go out an hear one for yourself. This fine book brings hope that these fabulous animals can survive in our midst. May people and animals thrive together." - David Rothenberg, Editor, Terra Nova. "Despite thirty years in the wildlife film business and two years following a mountain lion in the Andes, seeing these wonderful cats in Jackson was one of the highlights of my career. Their antics were enjoyed by hundreds, even thousands. This book admirably describes the facts behind the excitement. Let us hope that mother and cubs survive to offer others a future once-in-a-lifetime experience." - Hugh Miles, Producer and Camaraman, National Geographic Special Puma: Lion of the Andes. "Cougar, puma, catamount, panther - all names for one of the most mystical animals of the Americas, the mountain lion. The allure of this cat has captivated the imagination of field biologists, hunters, animal lovers, and wildlife watchers all over the world. Once the largest ranging mammal in the Western Hemisphere, mountain lion sightings today are rare as these animals struggle to maintain a wild existence as human development encroaches into their habitat at an ever increasing rate. [The book] is the first photographic documentary of wild, free mountain lions, captured during the winter of 1999 on the National Elk Refuge, near the border of Grand Teton National Park. For 42 days, a mother lion with three cubs inhabited a den on Miller Butte, high above the wintering area of the largest concentration of elk in North America. Part wildlife documentary, part expose of the habits and behaviors of one of the most elusive creatures in the Americas, this book will take you on a journey into the secretive and often misunderstood life of Puma concolor, the American mountain lion.
