The Lost Wolves of Japan

Book Description
Many Japanese once revered the wolf as Oguchi no Magami, or Large-Mouthed Pure God, but as Japan began its modern transformation wolves lost their otherworldly status and became noxious animals that needed to be killed. By 1905 they had disappeared from the country. In this spirited and absorbing narrative, Brett Walker takes a deep look at the scientific, cultural, and environmental dimensions of wolf extinction in Japan and tracks changing attitudes toward nature through Japan's long history. Grain farmers once worshiped wolves at shrines and left food offerings near their dens, beseeching the elusive canine to protect their crops from the sharp hooves and voracious appetites of wild boars and deer. Talismans and charms adorned with images of wolves protected against fire, disease, and other calamities and brought fertility to agrarian communities and to couples hoping to have children. The Ainu people believed that they were born from the union of a wolflike creature and a goddess. In the eighteenth century, wolves were seen as rabid man-killers in many parts of Japan. Highly ritualized wolf hunts were instigated to cleanse the landscape of what many considered as demons. By the nineteenth century, however, the destruction of wolves had become decidedly unceremonious, as seen on the island of Hokkaido. Through poisoning, hired hunters, and a bounty system, one of the archipelago's largest carnivores was systematically erased. The story of wolf extinction exposes the underside of Japan's modernization. Certain wolf scientists still camp out in Japan to listen for any trace of the elusive canines. The quiet they experience reminds us of the profound silence that awaits all humanity when, as the Japanese priest Kenko taught almost seven centuries ago, we "look on fellow sentient creatures without feeling compassion."

Book Description
Chatran is a host of many values even with his personal flaws. While his convictions are absolute, Chatran freely gives of himself to those that are honorable and respectful to him and to themselves. He returns as good as he gets, but his returns are in full! Of Chatran's greatest values is the protection of women of all types, and the protection of puppies, children, and cubs. And like any father or protector, Chatran will allow no threats to those that he loves and those that love him. Above all else, Chatran lives for family, friends, and a good time with them as often as possible. Even if he has to violently move something or someone out of the way to enjoy them. That is primarily due to the fact that Chatran has had a life filled with loss. He's been on his own for more than 15 years and has been alone in all of that time. Because of the Beast within, Chatran has had to maintain a solitary existence among people unlike himself and he's done okay in that life. But it hurts him. One day, while at work, an event takes place that changes Chatran's life and launches him into his natural element. Chatran learns to live and become one with his natural elemental form and embraces life and himself fully. He also learns something far greater. Because of that knowledge, he offers and ultimately, gives himself to others that have accepted him. But he has to earn their respect and trust very quickly before he is lost within himself and is released without direction. With the trust of the others, Chatran will have the responsibility of their protection. The question then becomes; can one of great strength partner with one of wrath and be successful in navigating their way to their real home? Or will they take the wrong road, unknowingly, and be damned while pursuing handfuls of shiny and pretty things? The problem is that there is no help. And the one leading the way isn't the one making the decisions.

Book Description
Ghost is finally home. Back among his kind and learning what it means to be both a man and a shaman, Ghost battles the expectations of his people, his family, and the pressures of a society that is both foreign and familiar. His power is greater than any seen before, dwarfing that of even the legendary Shaman Gray Shadow—and his union with Kane places him in the center of a controversy that rattles wolfkin society around the world. Ghost loves his mate and refuses to bow to mounting pressure to have them separated, and then Kane is falsely accused of forcing a mate bond. Kane, the alpha heir of his clan and Ghost's new mate, has finally defeated the traitor and murderer that destroyed the heart of Black Pine years before. Yet Kane has a new enemy to face: his own people. Placed on trial for violation of Law and blasphemy, Kane will have to fight to the death to preserve his bond with Ghost and keep his mate and people safe. Alphas from far and wide come to the trial, some with the intent to take everything from Kane--including his beloved mate. A soulbound pair is traditionally seen as a blessing upon the wolfkin and their clans, yet their bond flies in the face of tradition. Ghost and Kane refuse to be parted, and even with the support of their friends and family, it may not be enough to preserve their mating when ancient laws and hatred threaten to destroy their love.
