| Summary |
Annotation. <div><i>The Deer and the Tiger</i>is Schaller's detailed account of the ecology and behavior of Bengal tigers and four species of the hoofed mammals on which they prey, based on his observations in India's Kanha National Park.<br /><br />"This book is a treasure house of biological information and it is also a delight to read. . . . Excellent phoographs accompany the text."—Robert K. Enders,<i>American Scientist</i><br /><br />"The one book that has been my greatest source of inspiration is<i>The Deer and the Tiger</i>by George Schaller, based on the first ever scientific field study of the tiger. . . . This book is written by a scientist, but speaks from the heart. . . . It reveals startling information on feeding habitats, territorial behaviour, and the nuances that make up the language of the forest; you become totally immersed in the world of the tiger. . . . For all of us who work in tiger conservation, this book is<i>the</i>bible."—Valmik Thapar,<i>BBC Wildlife</i><br /></div> |
