is a unique and valuable reference. It is a must read for those wildlife professionals that have been around a while and are often asked for sage advice by the up-and-coming wildlife biologist. Alternatively, it can serve as a soon-to-be, well-worn reference and ”how to” manual for students and recently minted professionals . . . This book is a great addition to the library of wildlife professionals at any stage of their career to help build a robust pipeline of wildlife biologists ready to tackle the 21st century challenges of protecting, managing, and conserving wildlife for future generations.

The authors provide sound advice and key principles that will lead students to succeed in academic work and a career, stressing disciplinary, communication, and interpersonal skills . . . The volume’s invaluable treatment may indeed encourage more students to pursue rewarding careers that focus on wildlife. Highly recommended.
