An extraordinarily powerful narrative that will leave readers with a renewed appreciation of the profundity of the northern Rockies' environmental transformation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. -Carol Medlicott, Pacific Northwest Quarterly -- Carol Medlicott * Pacific Northwest Quarterly * Part history and part cultural anthropology, Producing Predators is yet another reminder that Native Americans had vastly divergent perspectives than their colonizers about the place of humans in their environments. Those differences resulted in profoundly devastating consequences for themselves and their world. -Eric Mogren, Environmental History -- Eric Mogren * Environmental History * Through historical and ecological detail, Wise places an admirable focus on the actual animals involved in these interchanges. -Jessica Landau, Native American and Indigenous Studies -- Jessica Landau * Native American and Indigenous Studies * This book will be of great interest to environmental historians, historical geographers, and scholars who examine human-animal relations through time. . . . Much more than simply another book on wolves, Wise offers an analysis which is part environmental history and part account of the specificities of colonialism in the Rockies. -Stephanie Rutherford, H-Environment -- Stephanie Rutherford * H-Environment * Producing Predators should be on the short list for scholars interested in further exploring the tensions embedded in Western history, particularly the convoluted intersections between labor, race, and ecology that Wise so deftly uncovers in his first book. -Frank Van Nuys, Annals of Wyoming -- Frank Van Nuys * Annals of Wyoming * Producing Predators excels in its positioning of work as a useful tool to understand the complex contours of human-animal relations in the nineteenth-century West. -Karen Jones, History: Journal of the Historical Association -- Karen Jones * History: Journal of the Historical Association *
