The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation
Organ, James Peek, William Porter, John Sandlos, James A. Schaefer
Wildlife Conservation Policy
This is a book on wildlife conservation policy. It aims to bring some understanding to the obscure but vitally important, area of conservation policy; it discusses what we in the conservation community need to uphold and defend if wildlife is to thrive, if biodiversity is to be maintained, if natural renewable resources, of which wildlife is a part, are to be used in a sustainable fashion.

Life Strategies, Human Evolution, Environmental Design

Mountain Sheep and Man in the Northern Wilds
Originally published in 1975. In Mountain Sheep and Man in the Northern Wilds Valerius Geist, a renowned scientist, sensitive observer, and natural storyteller here recounts his experiences among, and reflections upon, the magnificent bighorned sheep of the Canadian wilderness, where he lived and worked year 'round. The book presents popular science in the best sense -- beautifully written, unmistakably accurate, innovative and thought provoking.
