Summary: Pronghorn: Portrait of the American Antelope
Review: Theres some good info here, however its all just (stuff) the authors stole from other writers. This book just has pretty pictures. Most of which i'm pretty sure were taken at the National Bison Range in western montana. That just happens to be where i spent 3 months this summer studying pronghorn with John Byers (look him up...he's in this book, and they misspelled his name at least once.). Good book for the average person that doesn't want to know specifics about pronghorn....bad book if you want more out of it than just "oh, they aren't antelope?"

Oh, and the title is dumb.....read and you'll understand why.

Summary: Biologist's review
Review: This book is GREAT for laypeople. I am a pronghorn biologist and I recommend this book to the general public ALL THE TIME. It includes everything that make pronghorn unique. It is very "user friendly" and keeps the facts interesting. There is plenty of other pronghorn literature for those of us who need more technical information. For the John and Jane Qs, however, this book is a great reference. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe it also includes a list of additional literature in the back.

Review: Where else can you find an all inclusive story that spans time on the life of an animal before America existed until now. A great historical record.
