In this completely revised Texas A&M University Press edition, Guthery and coauthor Fidel Hernández have breathed new life into a classic work that for more than twenty years has been teaching biologists, managers, and ranchers to "think like a quail.

Fidel Hernández is the Alfred C. Glassell Jr., Endowed Professor for Quail Research at the Cesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute in Kingsville, Texas. Fred S. Guthery, also the author of On Bobwhites (Texas A&M University Press, 2006) and A Primer on Natural Resource Science (Texas A&M University Press, 2008), holds the Bollenbach Chair in Wildlife Ecology at Oklahoma State University.
