Lost wild America

Carolyn Phelan

Updated and expanded from the 1969 edition, which is a staple on library shelves, this useful, readable book gives readers the checkered story of American wildlife management from pioneer days to the present. A good resource for reports on extinct and endangered animals, it includes examples of vanished species as well as those coming back from the brink of extinction and others whose survival is still an open question. Well worth buying to replace the earlier edition and to update collections in this important area.
