Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. Size: 9x6x1; An x-library copy. Olaus Johan Murie (1889-1963), called the "father of modern elk management", was a naturalist, author, and wildlife biologist who did groundbreaking field research on a variety of large northern mammals. Rather than conducting empirical experiments, Murie practiced a more observational-based science. n 1948, Murie became the first American Fulbright Scholar in New Zealand and conducted research in the Fiordland National Park. In 1950, Murie became president of the Wilderness Society. He was also a president of the Wildlife Society and a director of the Izaak Walton League. He received the Aldo Leopold Memorial Award Medal in 1952, the Pugsley Medal in 1953, the Audubon Medal in 1959, and the Sierra Club John Muir Award in 1962.
