Presentation inscription by the author on the title page.

'This is a book about "wildlife management". It was written, specifically, for the non-scientist conservationist, and in layman's language.

'No person who calls himself a "conservationist' - whether he, or she, be a graduate ecologist, or just a serious-minded amateur - can afford NOT to have THIS book on his bookshelf. By the middle of the 1990s it will, without doubt, have become the nature-lover's "bible"; and it will most assuredly remain a major wildlife reference book well into the next century.'

This book was awarded five international wildlife conservation awards and is currently still out of print.

Its purpose is to create a "properly informed public".
