Wildlife Issues in a Changing World

Fast becoming a standard textbook in college ecology curriculums, Wildlife Issues in a Changing World, Second Edition focuses on challenging issues in wildlife management. Examination of Jared Diamond's Evil Quartet (the four principal causes of extinction) provides a framework to categorize and resolve wildlife issues. As the previous edition did, the new edition gives an all-encompassing introduction to past relations between humans and nature, explorations of current threats to species and their habitats, and provides recent novel solutions where humanity and industry have made adjustments to protect the natural order.
