Description: The Game of Conservation is a brilliantly crafted and highly readable examination of nature protection around the world.Twentieth-century nature conservation treaties often originated as attempts to regulate the pace of killing rather than as attempts to protect animal habitat.
Review Quotes: "The book's expository prose style is in tune with its overall design: clarity and utility are foremost.... The Game of Conservation will be a valuable resource for any scholar of conservation, colonialism or international treaty making."--Environment and History
