The following is from the promotional flyer:

Discover the unique history of the “Missouri Model” of wetland and
waterfowl management in this large format and richly illustrated
new book.

The success of Missouri’s waterfowl and wetland conservation
is not an accident. Careful planning, skillful execution of welldesigned
strategies, public and private partnerships, strong citizen
support, and dedicated funding have all led to the quality wetland
habitats and migratory bird populations that we enjoy today.
A new book, Waterfowl Hunting and Wetland Conservation in
Missouri: A Model of Collaboration, chronicles and celebrates this
success. Sponsors, anchored by Bass Pro Shops, the Missouri
Department of Conservation, Ducks Unlimited, the Conservation
Federation of Missouri, the Missouri Conservation Heritage
Foundation, and private citizens, have covered all production
costs. The book’s authors, many of them former waterfowl
biologists and wetland managers, have donated their services
to produce this new book. The book is edited by Kenneth M.
Babcock and W. Alan Wentz. Dale Hall, CEO of Ducks Unlimited,
and Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops, have each
written a foreword for the book. The dust jacket artwork is from
the Charles W. Schwartz collection, the State Historical Society
of Missouri. Over three hundred images, some never before
published, will be showcased in this hard copy book.

This is a “must have” book for all serious migratory bird hunters,
and all net proceeds from sales of the book will be dedicated
to wetland and waterfowl conservation that benefits Missouri.
