"Through stories about his own experiences studying Merriam's wild turkey - anecdotes about the foibles of field work and the bureaucratic boondoggles of wildlife management - Shaw reveals some of the complexities involved in wildlife research. Drawing on a lifetime of work and reflection, his book shows that sound research and effective management of this animal - and, by extension, others - are severely hampered by political agendas, social misunderstandings, inappropriate research, and above all, human indifference.".
