Decline and Recovery of the Island Fox Paperback: A Case Study for Population Recovery (Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation) - Softcover

"This book provides the first comprehensive description of the evolution, genetics, diseases, reproductive biology, food habits and habitat use, and behavioral ecology of the island foxes. Most of the information presented was gained through actual recovery efforts. This work is a major contribution to literature on endangered species recovery, conservation biology, and mammalogy. Highly recommended."
R.L. Smith, emeritus, West Virginia University for Choice Magazine

"I found the book to be very interesting and inspiring."
