"For Love of Wildness" is Terry Grosz’s eagerly anticipated sequel to the stories he told in his first book, "Wildlife Wars." Picking up where he left off, Grosz, who was a conservation officer for California and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for more than 30 years, begins this new book with his move from the state to the federal level, where the cases are often bigger and more complex. Grosz’s stories are action-packed, yet always infused with his love of wildlife and the great outdoors, and he makes the urgent point in his book, as he did in his career, that our failure to protect our fragile natural resources is the same as stealing from our children and our children’s children. "Having been unable to put the first book down until the last shot was fired and the last poacher was clapped in irons, I’m eagerly awaiting more—from the safety of a reading lamp." —Ed Dentry, Denver Rocky Mountain News
