Reviews
If you want a bird’s eye view of a complex subject from an academically rigorous point of view, then this book is for you. Teachers of wildlife damage management especially should consider using this text for their classes.
This book is a significant contribution to the wildlife management and conservation literature... This book will be a solid foundation for a course on this important discipline... The well-written, comprehensive text, numerous illustrations, tables and boxes, summaries, and end-of-chapter questions make a professor's job easy. Highly recommended.
Should become a well-used and standard text for WDM students and practitioners.
