Very Dissapointed
After ordering well over one hundred books from Amazon, this is the only book that I have been truly dissapointed in. At almost $28.00, I expected a book full of glossy, up to date photographs, with nice descriptions. Instead, the pictures were well over 30 years old, quite small, and of minimal quality.
How the publishers ever came up with a price of almost $28.00 for this pathetic excuse for a book is amazing. This will be my first 'return' to Amazon in over fifteen years. ... Read more

From the author: Subsistence farmers near Kibale National Park, Uganda, fear and resent many wildlife species. In this article I compare records of crop damage by wildlife and livestock with local complaints about the worst animals and the most vulnerable crops. I discuss the concordance and discrepancies in complaints versus actual damage in light of physical parameters of risk and of social factors that shape perceptions and vulnerabilities. Crop losses were greatest at the edge of the forest, where immigrants are disproportionately represented. State proprietorship of wildlife amplifies local vulnerability and constrains traditional coping strategies, such as hunting. Keywords: East Africa, risk perception, Uganda, wildlife conservation.
