The Brushtail Possum: Biology, Impact and Management of an Introduced Marsupial
edited by T:L. Montague, 292pp hardback, Manaaki Whenua Press, Lincoln 2000, RRP$59.95. This is a very serious book, and rightly so given the damage inflicted by this Australian marsupial on New Zealand’s forests and nesting birds. The editor wanted to draw together the information and research spread over many other publications to make the facts readily available to those concerned with the possum problem. There are contributions from more than 40 experts touching on possum biology, possum impacts, controls and management, the benefits of control, and possible future directions. This book should be valuable for anyone concerned, or working to eliminate this pest.
