This book's thesis is simple and logical: Faced with human development's ever-increasing demands upon habitat, wildlife today needs advocates more than ever before. When wildlife advocates work together, wildlife wins; when they bicker, wildlife loses. In this book Thomas tells for the first time the complete story of how sportsmen have managed to make the world a better place. Examining the lives and work of the giants in the history of wildlife conservation, Thomas concludes that the contributions of these sportsmen to the environment have been far more substantial than those of "environmental" organizations that have taken a stance against hunting and fishing.
