Elk of North America, Ecology and Management
A detailed examination of the North American elk
NA ELK
The 1982 edition of this book was praised as "surely the finest book ever written about a single species, " and this new edition, with 85 percent new material, is certainly a worthy successor. Thirty-eight contributors from the United States and Canada combine an extraordinary amount of research data, management experience, and professional insight into this enormous book. North American Elk: Ecology and Management contains the most up-to-date information on elk behavior, physiology, migration, taxonomy, and management. Full chapters are devoted to distribution, nutrition and food, diseases and parasites, ecosystem management, hunting, the regulation of hunting, the historical relationship between Native Americans and elk, and much more. The editors, Toweill and Thomas, conclude with a thorough discussion of the future of elk and their management. Two appendices provide common and scientific names of plants and animals cited, and the book is illustrated throughout with drawings, tables, over 550 b&w photographs, and a 16-page section of color photographs. The book's original artwork has again been provided by Daniel P. Metz, one of North America's premier wildlife artists.

Dispossessing the Wilderness
National parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier preserve some of this country's most cherished wilderness landscapes. While visions of pristine, uninhabited nature led to the creation of these parks, they also inspired policies of Indian removal. By contrasting the native histories of these places with the links between Indian policy developments and preservationist efforts, this work examines the complex origins of the national parks and the troubling consequences of the American wilderness ideal. The first study to place national park history within the context of the early reservation era, it details the ways that national parks developed into one of the most important arenas of contention between native peoples and non-Indians in the twentieth century.
Forest Communities, Community Forests
A collection of stories about thirteen communities in the United States in their efforts to protect and restore community forests.
