Reviews

People in Nature compiles a wealth of information...The Book provides valuable advice for resource planner and managers. Biology Digest [People in Nature] belongs in all working wildlife and conservation biology libraries... Recommended. Choice For those of us who believe that there can be people in nature to the benefit of both, this book will happily grow dog-eared with use. -- Allyn MacLean Stearman The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
