Reviews

This new book offers a wealth of valuable [and] accessible information about how North American wildlife has been and is presently managed. Indeed, all those who hold an interest in North American lands and the wide range of wildlife species living thereupon would be very much benefited from discovering for themselves just how those who hold responsibility for these species think about them, what their goals for them are, and how they go about their respective work. —Johannes E. Riutta, The Well-Read Naturalist
