. Wildlife Ecology, Conservation, and Management. Canada, Blackwell Publishing, 2006.

Our objective in writing this book is modest. We seek to provide a text that can be used in both undergraduate and graduate level courses in wildlife management and conservation. Conservation is becoming an increasingly important component in the management of animal populations and their habitats. We have recognized this development by including conservation in the new name for the text. New quantitative methods, developed over the last 10 years, are now so fundamental to management that we have included them at the most basic levels. In addition, several chapters in the book will be useful to practicing wildlife managers. For example, we have included modern approaches to censusing, the use of age- and stage-structured data in demography studies, and the use of models as efficient methods for making decisions. We emphasize, in the last chapter, that all wildlife problems have to be addressed in the context of the whole ecosystem, and cannot be solved in isolation of other species and environments.
