I have found this book to be very helpful for my field of research (conservation biology). Unlike the previous reviewer, I have no problem with a few grammatical errors. I found the research articles and reviews in this book to be valuable and have been able to cite several articles for my own published papers. I recommend this book to anyone working in conservation biology, even though it may be a bit outdated.

I have never seen such a shoddy bunch of sentences put together in my life. I counted nearly SEVENTEEN fragments in this book along with several akward sentences that leave the author's meaning unclear. The ideas set forth in this work about managing wild animals could have helped to change the way we interact with our game reserves. I say "could" because I'm sure anyone who reads this work will be too distracted (as I was) by the dearth of commas to think about the deep issues being considered. And don't even get me started on the over-usage of colons that borders on the obscene. Yet another good idea destroyed because an author decided not to Major in English.
