"There's not much wild anymore." These words set the stage for a group of prestigious wildlife professionals who discuss why this statement is true and what should be done about it. The book follows the links between historical aspects of wildlife management and future trends. Widely disparate views and opinions are united by the common thread of exploring the role of commercialization in wildlife conservation. This book is written by wildlife professionals for wildlife professionals, and is a "must read" for all those who work in wildlife or environmental management, or who hope to understand the perspectives of those who do.

"...seven prominent wildlife biologists from the North American continent discuss the origins of wildlife management in the western world, wildlife management in North America, its failures and successes, commercial utilisation of wildlife and the ethics of conservation. This book does not purport to provide a definitive answer to all the questions raised in the treatise but it does act as an excellent stimulus to examining the overall role for those of us interested in the management of wildlife." -- Francis Scullion, WORLD ASSOCIATION OF WILDLIFE VETERINARIANS, February 1994.                        "Dancing with the Devil was meticulously researched, and provides informative, enjoyable reading. A remarkable book, dealing with a controversial subject. Dancing with the Devil is MUST reading for anyone involved with wildlife management..." -- Fred H. Alvey, Keeper II, Dept. of Herpetology, Zoo Atlanta, Animal Keepers' Forum 1994.
