Reviews

Those managing animal populations in zoos and in fragmented populations of endangered species in the wild will benefit greatly by having this comprehensive book on contraception. It provides powerful approaches to controlling reproduction in these populations without disrupting the social structures and behavior of the animals involved. A fine work. - George Rabb, President Emeritus of the Chicago Zoological Society Modern zoos and aquariums include animal welfare among their highest priorities. It is therefore important that zoological and park managers be kept informed about the latest research developments, and Wildlife Contraception will help fill this void. - Michael Hutchins, Senior Fellow, Georgia Institute of Technology

Presents a well-organized overview. -- Katarina Jewgenow/Heribert Hofer Animal Welfare Very well organised, thereby allowing easy reading. -- I. Neubert Mammalian Biology
