Fair Game: A History of Hunting, Shooting and Animal Conservation; Erich Hobusch; English Version by Ruth Michaelis-Jena and Patrick Murray, M.B.E., F.S.A., (Scot); Arco Publishing, Inc., New York, 1980. From the introduction: There are many accounts of hunting and shooting of all times and from many countries reports of hunting for the sole purpose of acquiring food and clothing in order to maintain at best a precarious existence, and, at the other end of the scale, accounts of lavishly organized hunts, magnificent trophies, expeditions, and safaris full of adventure. We also learn about the extermination of whole species of animals, but equally of the protection and conservation of rare animals and plants. Certainly, nature should be protected for the good of mankind, and equally there should be hunting and shooting within a set of rules. The present book sets out to investigate the effects that hunting, and shooting have had on wildlife at different periods of man's history, and how it was responsible for the reduction or even annihilation of certain species under varying historical conditions. It is impossible to go into all aspects of the history of field sports and the protection of wildlife. We shall, therefore, attempt to show through examples how different ways of hunting, shooting, and trapping were used in different regions of the world. Methods of game conservation will also be discussed. This large format book, 280 pages measuring 270mm X 240mm is in near-fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket that is now in a protective mylar wrap.
