University of Chicago Press
The University of Chicago Press has been publishing books for scholars, students, and general readers since 1892, embracing as its mission the obligation to disseminate scholarship of the highest standard and to publish serious works that promote education, foster public understanding, and enrich cultural life. Through our books and journals, we seek not only to advance scholarly conversation within and across traditional disciplines but, in keeping with the University of Chicago’s experimental tradition, to help define new areas of knowledge and intellectual endeavor. In addition to publishing the results of research for communities of scholars, the Press presents innovative scholarship in ways that inform and engage general readers. We develop reference works and educational texts that draw upon and support the emphases of our scholarly programs and that extend the intellectual reach of the Press. We publish significant non-scholarly work by writers, artists, and intellectuals from within and beyond the academy; translations of important foreign-language texts, both historical and contemporary; and books that contribute to the public’s understanding of Chicago and its region.

Yellowstone Wolves: Science and Discovery in the World’s First National Park
Doug Smith talks about his new book Yellowstone Wolves: Science and Discovery in the World’s First National Park. With a foreword by Jane Goodall, the book is a generously illustrated consideration (and celebration!) of the successful reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone, which began 25 years ago this year. Wolves have proven to be even more beneficial to the entire Yellowstone ecosystem than was even hoped for back in 1995.
