Recommended reading for students of wildlife management

Now in a substantially revised, updated and expanded third edition, Frederick Gilbert and Donald Dodds' The Philosophy And Practice Of Wildlife Management continues to be very highly recommended reading for students of wildlife management, wildlife preservationist and management professionals, as well as hunters, fishermen, and animal rights activists. American and Canadian systems and examples showcase diverse philosophies and practices of wildlife management on both public and private lands, in addition to chapters dealing specifically with Native American land claims and rights to wildlife resources, the effects of parasites and diseases on wildlife populations, endangered species, species management, environmental impact assessment, socioeconomic issues, management approaches, legislation, and jurisdiction. Of particularly interest is the discussion of wildlife problems associated with less developed countries and the introduction to international wildlife concerns. The Philosophy And Practice Of Wildlife Management is an essential, core title in any personal, academic, or professional wildlife management reference collection.
