This book is concerned with the management of natural resources, in
particular with the management of the resource called fish and wild
life. It recognizes that successful management of a natural
resource requires the design of research and development programs.
Successful natural resource administration demands the
well-exercised ability to deal with the interests of many
actors--including the public and wildlife--in a balanced,
constructive way. The authors of this book, recognized as experts
in the management of natural resources, discuss management with
special emphasis on fish and other wildlife. Their approach to
management development constantly searches for creative compromises
that protect today's wildlife for future generations while
maximizing present social and economic benefits. Their
comprehensive treatment also includes a discussion of such topics
as the interaction of human management of wildlife with natural
regulation of wildlife; the need for sound research and development
programs; the importance of public participation in the management
of natural resources; and the political and administrative context
in which resource management must take place.
This book is a volume in the Penn Press Anniversary Collection. To
mark its 125th anniversary in 2015, the University of Pennsylvania
Press rereleased more than 1,100 titles from Penn Press's
distinguished backlist from 1899-1999 that had fallen out of print.
Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers
peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.
How does one analyze a set of real events in order to isolate and
define the important variables that appear to be operating?
Determine the structure of relationships between the variables?
Represent the content and structure of a system of events in the
form of a mathematical equation? The student of model-building
seeks answers to many such questions that are not adequately dealt
with in the existing literature. In this book, eight experts fill
an important need by offering a range of approaches to
model-building in the behavioral sciences. The papers in this
collection reflect the contributors common concern to improve the
teaching methodology in those fields in which model-building is
increasingly the primary focus of research. The insights they
provide will be of crucial interest to students of model-building
is increasingly the primary focus of research. The insights they
provide will be of crucial interest to students of model-building
and those who instruct them in the preconditions for constructing
workable models of behavior."
