3 out of 5 stars in the middle leaning to the not so good and the good side.   August 8, 2001

I would probally regret buying this book, even if i do like animals. The book WILDLIFE-HABITAT RELATIONSHIPS:..... SEEMS KIND OF BORING.


4 out of 5 stars Good overview of traditional concepts and techniques   June 16, 2000

Morrison et al.'s second edition of Wildlife-Habitat Relationships: Concepts and Applications is a welcome overview of the state of the art in the mid-1990s. The authors examine their subject from three complementary viewpoints: basic concepts, measurement and analysis, and management. Individual concepts are presented very clearly and the writing is first-rate. The authors provide a level of detail appropriate to an introductory overview.

While this text is suitable for an undergraduate course and provides an excellent basic reference, seasoned professionals may find it lacking. For example, more recent numerical techniques (such as resource selection functions) are beyond the book's scope. Nevertheless, "Wildlife-Habitat Relationships" is admirably up-to-date in many respects, including excellent discussions of experimental approaches and scale, and I've referred to it many times during the course of my own Ph.D. work.
