This is an innovative and collaborative life history of one of
Alaska's pioneering wildlife biologists. David R. Klein has been a
leader in promoting habitat studies across wildlife research in
Alaska, and this is his first-hand account of how science and
biological fieldwork has been carried out in Alaska in the last
sixty years. This book tells the stories of how Klein did his
science and the inspiration behind the research, while exposing the
thinking that underlies particular scientific theories. In
addition, this book shows the evolution of Alaska's wildlife
management regimes from territorial days to statehood to the era of
big oil. The first portion of the book is comprised of stories from
Klein's life collected during oral history interviews, while the
latter section contains essays written by Klein about philosophical
topics of importance to him, such as eco-philosophy, the definition
of wilderness, and the morality of hunting. Many of Klein's
graduate students have gone on to become successful wildlife
managers themselves, in Alaska and around the globe. Through The
Making of an Ecologist, Klein's outlook, philosophy, and approach
toward sustainability, wildlife management, and conservation can
now inspire even more readers to ensure the survival of our fragile
planet in an ever-changing global society.
