As one who often finds himself reading news reports, commentary, and other material on a wide range of wildlife conservation issues, many of which seem mind-bogglingly perplexing in their complexity and – from an amateur's perspective – wholly beyond human capability to solve, I am very excited to see such a book as this now available that can provide not only an insight into how wildlife management professionals approach such challenges, but also that potential solutions are not only possible but are in fact already being tested and implemented in the field.
International Wildlife Management is an excellent book containing 16 chapters, including a 6 page index.
A significant contribution to the field that will assist anyone preparing for work in wildlife management, as well as wildlife managers seeking to expand their existing understanding of new challenges. This wide-ranging overview is extremely informative, interesting, and readable.
