Philip Wayre tells in realistic terms how the progress of civilization, coupled with the ruthlessness and indifference of man, has so threatened many of the world's finest pheasants that at least sixteen of the forty-eight species are in danger of becoming as dead as the Dodo in the wild state.  With the object of saving these beautiful and interesting birds, the Pheasant Trust has labored successfully since 1959 on the large-scale propagation of the rarer species in captivity.  

For both collector and breeder - and many more collectors might become breeders - this book, with its color plates of all species of pheasant, should prove a useful guide and instructor.  Farmers and owners of shoots, anxious to increase the number of birds on their land, will also find the book an aid to successful management.
