Review
Deer presents an astonishing portrait of North America's most graceful and popular mammal. Respected biologists and renowned photographers and artists cover life history, anatomy, physiology, behavior, habitat, and more. Illuminating comparisons of the species (their gaits, methods of dealing with predators, preferred foods, social behaviors, mating activities) reveal the ecological niche and natural history of each animal. Other chapters explore how these species interact with each other, with other wild animals, with domestic livestock, and with man. Full-color photographic sequences of rubbing, scraping, sparring, fighting, copulating, and other rarely glimpsed activities plus detailed drawings and informative maps and graphs illustrate every aspect of deer life. Up-to-date data address such controversial topics as vision capabilities, communication, subspeciation, and population control. With deer ranging across the continental United States and Canada, this visually stunning, 400 page book will find wide readership among wildlife researchers, nature lovers, artists, and outdoorsmen. -- Midwest Book Review
From Booklist
North America's most popular and graceful mammal is the subject of this latest volume in the publisher's Wildlife series. It probably provides more information than the average reader would ever want to know about deer, despite the increasing importance of the subject to both rural and urban dwellers. Respected biologists examine every aspect of deer, from the origin of the species to future prospects and impact. White-tail deer, mule deer, and numerous subspecies are cataloged, with information on habitat and ranges. Anatomy both internal and external is examined in detail, and even the distinct stride of the animal is graphically illustrated. All phases of the life cycle are covered, as are population dynamics and the effects of habitat loss. Lack of predators has led to the strong return of the species, so that now a great number are found living in suburbs and even cities. The necessity of ethically responsible harvests is given justification until newer and better methods of population control are found. Liberally illlustrated. Fred Egloff
