The other day Ramesh, my friend wanted me to recommend a book that takes the reader beyond what has been learned in the classrooms of conservation biology and wildlife management. My immediate recommendation was “Problem-Solving in Conservation Biology and Wildlife Management” authored by James P. Gibbs, Malcolm L. Hunter, Jr and Eleanor J. Sterling. If you have better recommendations please share it here for the benefit of Ramesh. Ramesh would be delighted to get your recommendations.
“Problem-Solving in Conservation Biology and Wildlife Management” gives a set of 32 exercises expressly created for students and teachers of conservation biology and wildlife management. The book empowers the readers to take what has been learned in the classroom to the field and apply it to practical, real-world issues.
A wide range of conservation issues is dealt with: genetic analysis, population biology and management, taxonomy, ecosystem management, land use planning, the public policy process and a lot more. All exercises discuss how to take what has been learned and apply it to practical, real-world issues. Additional plus points are a detailed instructor's manual and a student website with software and support material.
James Gibbs is Associate Professor of Environmental and Forest Biology at the State University of New York’s College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
Malcolm J. Hunter Jr is the Libra Professor of Conservation Biology and Professor of Wildlife Ecology at the University of Maine, Orono. He is also the former President of the Society for Conservation Biology.Eleanor J. Sterling is Director of the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation at the American Museum of Natural History and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology at Columbia University.
