A great book. November 7, 2008
I thought this was a great book with an incredible amount of up to date data on the Mountain Goat. I also liked the way the book was laid out with an introduction and summary to each chapter and gray boxes that would go into great detail on a specific subject. There is also a lot of black & white photos, charts and graphs to illustrate the data collected.
This book is special as it has tracked a marked heard for years. The in depth data that was collected can be found nowhere else that I know of and the way the book was written was easy to read.
I am not a biologist or scientist, I am just someone who really likes to view Mountain Goats and learn about them. I am glad I bought this book and think it is a must have if you really want to learning about this animal.
A product of sixteen years of tracking of over three hundred marked mountain goats June 9, 2008
A product of sixteen years of tracking of over three hundred marked mountain goats, "Mountain Goats: Ecology, Behavior, and Conversation of an Alpine Ungulate" is the first educated and scholarly assessment of the ecology and behavior of mountain goats. The long years of study pay off, tackling every bit of the goat's lives, including their reproductive strategies and population dynamics. It also reads into their sensitivity to human disturbance and uses it to examine and develop excellent conservation strategies. An invaluable source for ecologists and wildlife conservationists, "Mountain Goats: Ecology, Behavior, and Conservation of an Alpine Ungulate" is highly recommended for community libraries with a focus on wildlife everywhere.
