'What goes on in the mind of trophy hunters? What drives them to spend huge sums of money in the pursuit of increasingly rare animals so they can kill them and take parts of their bodies home? Are trophy hunters pre-disposed to kill? Why do they feel the need to possess? Why are they lauded by some and reviled by many? Are they a mutated throwback to the psychology of our hunting ancestors or are they simply out of step with today's evolving, ethical perceptions of wildlife and its values? Professor Geoff Beattie brings his intellect, considerable experience and detailed analysis to bear on an issue that divides humanity. Trophy Hunting: A Psychological Perspective is required reading.' - Will Travers OBE, President and Co-Founder, Born Free Foundation
