%X This book focuses on the interaction among people, sheep, and the environment in the run country of Tasmania (runs are areas of largely native vegetation where sheep graze or shelter). The major question addressed is: ?Can nature conservation be integrated with wool production?? This book deals with the pressing issues of conservation on privately owned or leased land. One of the purposes of the book was stated in the Preface as a ?search for potentially effective pathways to maintain conservation values in a production context . . .? To approach this problem, the authors employed research in the ?classic hypothesis-testing mode, in descriptive scientific mode, in the mode of normative social science, and in qualitative mode.? The details of methodology and statistical treatment have been relegated to end notes to make the text more readable. To help deal with the jargon of the sheep industry, a Glossary is provided.
