Awesome Tiger Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Valmik is THE man when it comes to Tigers. His passion comes out in every book and documentary he has made. I love his stories of random tiger behaviour he has seen in the wild. Sad at times but a stark reminder that tigers must be saved in the wild, without exception.
For all Tiger lovers

Having a great love and passion for the tiger I am yet to find a more comprehensive book on the subject. This book is expertly compiled and consists of all facts regarding tigers. It starts with evolution and origins of the tiger, anatomy of the tiger, its life and conflict with man and other big cats, as well as the myths and ancient world of the tiger. Brilliantly compiled, laid out and documented. Highly recommended for all tiger lovers or those interested in the big cats. Includes exceptional photography of the tiger in its natural habitat.
Great Book

This is a wonderful book for those interested in tigers and wildlife. It is comprehensive, which is what i liked the most about it. It has the views of many different experts on various aspects. In addition to describing a tiger's life, it also explains the impact of the tiger on our culture. The tiger's influence on the arts, and is loaded with great pictures. If you like tigers, then order this book!

Enjoyable and Informative Reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The beautiful and unique images of tigers captured in the wild were breathtaking. I found the format of this book interesting and useful in acquiring reliable knowledge about Patera tigris and related species, though this book is not oriented for the scientific community. Mr. Thapar has revealed some aspects of tiger behavior that very much suprised me... and I hold a degree in Biology. The author tends to end the book on a dark personal note underscoring the tiger's grim future, but I don't think anyone with an interest in animal conversation would mind Mr. Thapar's effort to impart to us his tireless passion for these critically endangered big cats.
