Reviews

State Wildlife Management and Conservation is an important book that chronicles the history of wildlife management in America and introduces the varied yet very important roles and responsibilities that state wildlife agencies and their wildlife biologists face when making management decisions for the benefit of the resource and future generations. The book is an invaluable and timely resource as agencies strive to fill key conservation roles with well-equipped and adequately educated young wildlife professionals. Professors, aspiring wildlife students, and the next generation of wildlife professionals will all benefit from this text because it outlines the demands of today's wildlife professionals and the challenges ahead for all seeking to become a state wildlife biologist. -- Kyle D.
