Product Description:
This inquiry begins with the puzzle of sibling relations. Why are individuals from the same family little more similar in personality than people from different families? Why doesn't a shared family environment lead to similar values and beliefs? Sulloway suggests a fresh way of understanding how family affects individual development. Among siblings, the most important factor for systematically understanding the sources of individual differences is birth-order. This work shows how birth-order is so fundamental to the family experience that its effects transcend gender, social class, nationality and time. Using historical examples from scientific revolutions, the French Revolution and the Protestant Reformation, this work shows that Marx was mistaken when he located the engine of historical change between families. The engine of history lies in individual differences arising within the family.

- Mice-Eating Wolves
I really enjoy Mowat's stories. They are so conversational they read like novels. "Never Cry Wolf" is of Mowat's personal experiences with a pair of Arctic wolves. As such, it is a pro-wolf book for pro-wolf people. I include myself in that number but, whereas not disputing Mowat's work, I like hard cold facts and realism.
It is true, as Mowat discovered, that wolves eat a lot of small animals, including mice. Logically, this is more true on the denning grounds, a time when small ... Read More

- The Amazing Lives of Wolves
The author is a master storyteller; combined with his narrative, the information about the social lives of wolves was indeed fascinating and compelling to read. The folly of man is also a point of interest certainly worth some contemplation....
Rating: - Love the book. Hate people.
I'm very glad I finally read this, because I've wanted to read it since I saw the movie when I was a kid and loved it so much -- and I wonder now just how much influence this movie had on me and my feelings about animals. I never saw Old Yeller or Free Willy and I barely remember Bambi; this was the one that made the impression. Maybe it's why I feel such an affinity for wolves. Interesting. But I digress.
This book is great. Not only is Mowat an excellent writer, but it gave me some ... Read More
Rating: - A taste of real arctic adventure
This is an excellent book by and excellent author. Having traveled much in the arctic by kayak and canoe, I was thrilled to read a book capturing some of the idiosyncrasies that I've experienced myself. The joys and tragedies of the arctic come through brilliantly and only those with a hatred of wolves could fail to see the obvious conclusions Mowat makes concerning the fate of the caribou. I bicycled the Dempster highway in 2005 and found the landscape littered with caribou remains; a slaughter empowered ... Read More

- I don't think they would print what I would like to say
I read this ...how do you say "NOVEL" pretending to be non-fiction when in grade school years ago.
Since then I have learned that Sir Mowatt doesn't let the truth get in the way of a good yarn.
I will never read any book by him again. ...I give it a negative 5 stars.
