""Marvelous writing-and exciting coverage over many years."" -Estella Leopold, Professor Emerita of Biology, University of Washington, Seattle ""Neil F. Payne has lived an exceptional life. He honorably served his country as a Marine in Vietnam, raised a loving family, and has made and continues to make a substantial contribution to the singularly important profession of wildlife management. This book will undoubtedly help the reader better understand why the wildlife profession, biodiversity and ecosystem management, environmental education, leadership, and relationships are key to guiding society for generations to come."" -Adam N.
