Reviews
Presents a well-organized overview.
Very well organised, thereby allowing easy reading.
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.
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.
