Product Description
Valerius Geist, one of North America's premier wildlife research biologists, shares his common-sense insights into the Great Plains' pronghorn antelope. The pronghorn is the last surviving larger mammal of an era when the American plains was teeming with more species of wildlife than the African plains.

Geist, professor emeritus at the University of Calgary, is a specialist in animal behavior. Antelope Country explains how the fleet pronghorn was nearly wiped off the plains along with its bigger brother, the American bison, in the late 1800s. Geist also explores the pronghorn's return to abundance through North America's voluntary and legislative conservation efforts.

Accompanying Geist's fascinating text is the breathtaking work of renowned wildlife photographer Michael Francis, which illustrates the pronghorn's beauty and complexity.

- Fascinating historical and scientific insights into pronghorns and their prairie habitat
- The culmination of 30-plus years of pronghorn research
- 150 vivid full-color photographs of pronghorn antelope
- In-depth interpretation of pronghorn behavior and its evolutionary success

4 out of 5 stars Interesting despite odd writing style   July 22, 2002
 6 out of 7 found this review helpful

This book has excellent photography, and a decent text. The writing does suffer somewhat from a flowery style in some (not most) parts. The book is not very long, there is a lot of white space on each page, and the excellent photography takes up a lot of space. Still worth reading. At the end is a good annotated bibliography. Geist is extremely respected in this field, and he does a good job of sharing his expertise.
