A visual representation of one of Africa's great wildernesses and most-visited national parks. Nigel Dennis's photographs of Kruger and its many inhabitants are prefaced by a textual introduction to the conservation and natural history of the park. Michael Brett describes the diverse habitats of the Southern, Central, Northern and Far Northern regions of the park, and offers insight into the diversity of wildlife characteristic of each of them.

Authored by some of the state's top wildlife scientists, The Upland and Webless Migratory Game Birds of Texas presents the most up-to-date and comprehensive information covering twenty-one species of game birds. Ranging from the most well-known, like the Wild Turkey and Mourning Dove, to the marsh-loving rails and other more elusive species, these birds have widespread appeal among both hunters and birders and underscore the diverse challenges facing wildlife scientists, land managers, and conservationists in Texas today. From cultural significance to taxonomy and evolutionary history, this volume provides a wealth of background information on these species. Additionally, the book offers illustrated species accounts, detailed range maps, and information about habitat and management requirements, hunting regulations, and research priorities. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of these game birds and the array of terrestrial and wetland landscapes key to their survival. This will serve as a convenient and thorough reference volume for wildlife biologists and enthusiasts, as well as landowners and hunters.

This volume is dedicated to ethological game theory models. Game theory has played a major role in reshaping the study of animal behavior over the past 30 years. The editors and chapter authors were chosen to give an authoritative but accessible overview of the advances in the area. This book is intended for professionals, graduate students in animal behaviour, ecology and evolutionary biology.

Indian Agent Joseph Street said it well in 1833 when he described his trip across Iowa: "I had never rode through a country so full of game." In the early 1800s Iowa's deep soil, free-flowing rivers and streams, and favorable climate had combined to produce the welcoming habitats that supported a surprising variety of animals. In his engaging, intelligent book, James Dinsmore has created the first comprehensive history of this abounding wildlife from the arrival of Euro-American explorers to the present day.
