 good content, bad writing May 15, 2008
By MK
This book has good, useful content, however I found the quality of Bolen's writing to be horrid. There were many run-ons, incomplete sentences, bad syntax and LONG sentences combining sometimes unrelated ideas. I know this isn't a grammar or English book, but his writing style made it difficult for me to read, not to mention understand what he's trying to say. I've read a good deal of textbooks, and many of them were much better written than this one. He also tries to write figuratively at times, and personally when I'm trying to learn, I don't care about figurative speech and just want the raw concept. Additionally, the text was swamped with examples (most of the academic ideas were in the forms of examples) and while examples help remember material, when they come one after another, and never end, it just creates confusion. If Mr. Bolen spent more time editing his material for grammar and comprehension rather than using "pretty" words, this would be a much better text. Otherwise, it was definitely not worth the $100-some it cost.

restrictive writing, bad print Jan 30, 2012
By Franca
I received a book copy of poor print quality. I'll use the same phrase from another reviewer "The very first time I opened the book the pages started to fall out." The authors use unusual words from technical books of this area. This makes reading difficult for people who are not native English speakers. See the comment of another reviewer, "If Mr. Bolen spent more time editing his material is grammar and comprehension rather than using 'pretty' words, this would be a much better text." The vast majority of examples and theoretical focus are restricted to USA situations. I do not recommend the book to students of other nationalities who wish to know the theme "wildlife management" as a whole.
 Good content, bad book Jan 30, 2012
By beth
The content of this book is good and well written; however, I have been very disappointed with the quality of the publishing. I purchased this book brand new from Amazon and received it in the plastic from the publisher. The very first time I opened the book the pages started to fall out. Now, three weeks into class, I am carrying around the book in a plastic bag to try to keep all of the pages in order and from getting completely destroyed. After paying an exorbitant price for this book in new condition, the very least I would expect was for the book to be properly bound. Now, I can only expect that I won't be able to resell it at the end of the semester.

 Wildlife Ecology and Management Review Mar 11, 2007
By Rhonda Banks
This textbook is very easy to read and includes a great deal of diagrams, pictures and illustrations to increase understanding. It explans technical terms thoroughly, and provides the scientific names of animals in the text.

 Wildlife Ecology and Management Nov 06, 2009
By Timothy T. Brown
This is one of the few textbooks that I have ever been able to read for pleasure. The text is well-sprinkled with interesting and useful citations.
