When young people begin to explore careers in the world of wildlife, this might be the best primer available. In Maynard's first step into exploring an exciting career working with wildlife, he has provided a comprehensive picture of just what that means. Through examples of researchers in Africa to wildlife rehabilitators in Ohio, Maynard gives young readers a glimpse into the diversity of opportunities out there.

Working with Wildlife is a great addition to career guides for young people and should be on the shelf in every school library. It is exciting to read because of the numerous real world examples of conservationists, researchers, zoo professionals, and educators and the dramatic color photographs. Maynard's writing style is passionate and positive, generating enthusiasm for wildlife careers and encouraging readers to pursue their interests.

The book is loaded with suggestions for further study. Maynard recommends steps a student can follow to learn more about their interests. He has included everything from additional readings and websites to colleges with wildlife programs.

No student should begin pursuing a career adventure in wildlife without this wonderful guide!

A useful book for students or anyone who is thinking about careers and wants to learn about this subject. The author, Thane Maynard, is director of education at the Cincinnati Zoo, and is very knowledgable about his subject.

I was very happy with the book. It is in great shape and was delivered quickly. And it's a great book for anyone interested in getting into a career working with animals!
