| Abstract
|
:
|
"An excellent and well-organized overview of an emerging field, this book discusses the issues currently facing wildlife managers and anyone else who deals with interactions between wildlife and humans. It reviews the literature and stresses the inter-relatedness of wildlife damage management and the larger discipline of wildlife conservation. By defining the discipline, the book fills a void in wildlife management and ecology programs."--Publisher's description.
