Product Description
The first comprehensive text to examine the issues that have led to the need for human-wildlife interface management strategies, Urban Wildlife Management focuses not only on ecological matters, but also incorporates the political, economic, and societal issues. Synthesizing hundreds of journal articles with countless other sources, the book organizes a wealth of material under five subject areas: urban landscapes, urban ecosystems, urban habitats and hazards, sociopolitical issues, and special management considerations. Exploring the changing landscape of wildlife management, the authors offer a historical perspective and take a closer look at current trends and future directions.

I just received this book. I've taught an urban wildlife management course in the past, and have recognized the need for a text such as this one. Clark Adams, Kieran Lindsey, and Sara Ash are to be commended for pulling this topic together in an attractive book.

The references look extensive, and the many photos are of high quality. There are 4 pages of color photographs inserted between pages 276-277, repeating some black and white figures from chapters 5-11. This seems redundant; I hope the color plates did not add significantly to the price of the book, because they don't seem necessary.

I wish the book provided some assignment suggestions. There are case histories, and perspectives, but no suggested assignments. I have my own assignment ideas, of course, but I wanted their assistance in developing new ones! This is not a complaint, merely a comment.

I look forward to rejuvenating my urban wildlife course with the welcomed addition of this book.
