Summary: "One of the strengths of the book is the way that Van Nuys moves across different scales. Although his focus is primarily regional, Van Nuys supplements this perspective with explanations of national shifts in environmental thought or scientific understanding and explorations of more local stories."--Western Historical Quarterly "Van Nuys has created a compelling account of predator control in the American West. Varmints and Victims presents a complex tale told in engaging prose and will without doubt serve as an inestimable resource and impetus for future research."--Kansas History "Traces the rich history of how modern wildlife management has evolved over the past 100+ years."--Prairie Naturalist "Van Nuys is a conscientious scholar who makes comprehensible a complicated story of human-predator relations that has always generated a great deal of emotionalism over questions of eradication and control of predators."-New Mexico Historical Review "Offers a valuable synthesis of the history of predator control. . . . Van Nuys reminds us to think about these "few thousand varmints, mostly roaming around the middle of nowhere" as more than just the distant victims of America's ceaseless war on wildlife. They are its survivors, and that is a fresh and badly needed historical perspective."--Register of the Kentucky Historical Society "A strong resource for students seeking a better understanding of humans' controversial relationships with predators."--Choice. |
