"Historical, cultural, environmental, political, global treatment of hunting for the Essential Knowledge series"--

An examination of the ways in which different conceptions of nature shape our responses to specific environmental issues. This revised edition contains a chapter updating the controversy over the state-managed deer hunt at the Quabbin Reservoir in Massachusetts.

This examination of hunting in contemporary America uses interviews, opinion surveys and demographic statistics to analyze the meanings that people attach to hunting; who hunts, how they compare socially and politically with non-hunters, and how they see themselves and are seen by others.
