Research and Markets: New Set of Exercises for Problem-Solving in Conservation Biology and Wildlife Management

Posted on: Tuesday, 19 February 2008, 09:00 CST

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c83279) has announced the addition of "Problem-Solving in Conservation Biology and Wildlife Management, 2nd Edition" to their offering.

This set of exercises has been created expressly for students and teachers of conservation biology and wildlife management who want to have an impact beyond the classroom. The book presents a set of 32 exercises that are primarily new and greatly revised versions from the book's successful first edition. These exercises span a wide range of conservation issues: genetic analysis, population biology and management, taxonomy, ecosystem management, land use planning, the public policy process and more. All exercises discuss how to take what has been learned and apply it to practical, real-world issues.

Accompanied by a detailed instructor's manual and a student website with software and support materials, the book is ideal for use in the field, lab, or classroom.
