New Book Available - Thinking Like a Manager: Reflections on Wildlife Management.
The book is titled "Thinking Like a Manager: Reflections on Wildlife Management." The format of the book -- a brief, fictional novel that follows six characters having a discussion about management concepts -- makes it ideal as a centerpiece for small group discussions. Though examples are wildlife-related, the management considerations illustrated (e.g., human values, limits and capacity, scale, decision making, and integration) are generic, and relevant in a fisheries or forestry context, according to the authors.
The book publisher and distributor is the Wildlife Management Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the professional development needs of wildlife managers. The book is priced to recoup production costs only and not to serve as a profit-making venture for the authors or the publisher. Their goal is to reach busy professionals by offering a development resource in an affordable, readable format. For direct information regarding the publication, please contact: William F.
