The Encyclopedia of Deer by Leonard Lee Rue
From one of the world's best-known wildlife authors/photographers comes this authoritative, extensive guide to the world's deer species. This comprehensive reference work provides a unique source of information about all 45 of the world's deer species, covering everything from the ubiquitous North American whitetail to the hairy-fronted muntjac of east China. "The Encyclopedia of Deer" thoroughly covers each species' physical characteristics, behaviour, range, and population (many species are rare and/or endangered), and its relationship to humans in the areas in which it lives. The text is complemented by Rue's amazing photographs, which capture deer in every season and activity.
Dr Leonard Lee Rue III has spent much of his life studying, photographing, and living with wildlife in its natural habitats. He is the author of 28 books on wildlife and is also one of the most published wildlife photographers in the USA. He writes monthly columns for "Deer & Deer Hunting" and "Outdoor Photographer" magazines. He received two honours from the Outdoor Writers' Association of America: the "Excellence in Craft" and the "Jade of Chiefs" awards. In 1990, he received an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Colorado State University for "the dissemination of knowledge on wildlife," and in 1997, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the North American Nature Photographers' Association (NANPA).
