Reviews

Wildlife Management and Conservation does a great job introducing readers to the wildlife management triad . . . and provides an excellent overview of the wildlife profession for students . . . Although it is an introductory wildlife management text, the information supplied in the book is detailed enough to be of value to professionals. -- Journal of Wildlife Management This volume is a nice and easy-to-read collection of chapters covering important topics in wildlife management. Including topics such as structure decision-making and climate change makes this book particularly timely. This volume meets its objective to serve as a textbook for undergraduate courses and, as a reference, many will find it useful and interesting in both capacities. -- Quarterly Review of Biology
