LANSING — Jeffrey Holden spends his summers knee-deep in dead moose. In his new book “Dead Moose on Isle Royale: Off Trail with the Citizen Scientists of the Wolf-Moose Project” (Michigan State University Press, $24.95), Holden turns decades of volunteer field notes and short essays into an off-trail narrative about the people who sustain one of ecology’s longest-running studies.
