For many, the pronghorn was as much a symbol of the North American West as was the bison. Eliminated from much of its historic range by the early 1900s, this unique North American species has experienced a remarkable recovery and now is found throughout the western United States, Canada and northern Mexico. This book contains the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on the behavior, physiology, migration, taxonomy and management of this extraordinary animal, with chapters devoted to distribution, nutrition and food, diseases and parasites, ecosystem management, hunting, and much more. The book boasts contributions by 10 other wildlife professionals and more than 850 illustrations, including original artwork by Edson Fichter and Daniel P. Metz;

Each volume costs $85.00 plus $4.50 shipping and handling.
