From its founding in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt and the eminent conservationist writer-editor-publisher George Bird Grinnell, the Boone and Crockett Club exemplified the intersection of aristocratic big-game sportsmanship (and active contempt for market hunting), scientific curiosity, and conservationist values which provided significant leadership and support to the conservation movement in this era. The Club published several volumes of writings before 1920; this one illustrates the Club's interest and involvement in conservation action through a typical range of articles on hunting, wildlife and wilderness preservation, and natural history by prominent members, including President Roosevelt himself, while the Club's Constitution and lists of members (present and deceased) specify its purpose and suggest its niche in the world of America's social and political elite.

Since its inception, paleoanthropology has been closely wedded to the idea that big-game hunting by our hominin ancestors arose, first and foremost, as a means for acquiring energy and vital nutrients. This assumption has rarely been questioned, and seems intuitively obvious—meat is a nutrient-rich food with the ideal array of amino acids, and big animals provide meat in large, convenient packages. Through new research, the author of this volume provides a strong argument that the primary goals of big-game hunting were actually social and political—increasing hunter’s prestige and standing—and that the nutritional component was just an added bonus. Through a comprehensive, interdisciplinary research approach, the author examines the historical and current perceptions of protein as an important nutrient source, the biological impact of a high-protein diet and the evidence of this in the archaeological record, and provides a compelling reexamination of this long-held conclusion. This volume will be of interest to researchers in Archaeology, Evolutionary Biology, and Paleoanthropology, particularly those studying diet and nutrition.

A lot of people make claims of police corruption, but they rarely ever uncover the necessary documents to irrefutably prove their claims. Although they may be correct, the lack of physical evidence, and the inability to present the information in a coherent narrative, leaves the accused cops enough wiggle room to hide behind terms like slander, defamation of character, and conspiracy theory. Well, dear reader, those days are over.This work, Big Game Hunting, is clear proof of corruption within the Texas City Police Department. Matthew Daniels lays out his case using eye witness testimony, newspaper articles, emails, court records, arrest records, and testimony from Texas City Police Officers themselves, which prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was corruption within the Texas City Police Department, that was not only sanctioned by the administration, but covered up as well.Matthew Daniels eloquently documents the war that he waged, along with his brother, Joshua Daniels, against the Texas City Police Department, and he details how the two of them went 'Big Game Hunting', and mounted the heads of several prominent people on their wall.Reader, this work is EXPLOSIVE. Matthew Daniels shows that the same Texas City Police Officers who were charged with arresting criminals, were the worse criminals around. This is definitely a must read.
