Excellent book for animal lovers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Tigerland is a wonderful book for an animal lover to read. If you enjoy going to national parks or traveling around the world to see exotic animals, this book is for you. Each chapter describes a different area of the world, from Nepal to New Caledonia (and the author believes you very probably don't know where New Caledonia is) to eastern Montana. If you have ever contributed money to the World Wildlife Fund or The Nature Conservancy, or any other such group, you can learn what groups like that do with your money by reading this book. Eric Dinerstein's book provides a personal view on wildlife extinctions and conservation. It is much more readable than the impersonal articles in the newsletters and magazines published by the wildlife conservation groups.
An inspirational story of discovery and environmental conservation issues
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Eric Dinerstein was a film student who never thought he'd be tracking tigers in Nepal - but before he graduated he became interested in biology and conservation and would one day journey around the world studying nature. Tigerland And Other Unintended Destinations presents these journeys and studies, following his discoveries from Nepal to Montana and presenting his insights on each unique environment and its attributes. The insights on how fellow ecologists are working to preserve these natural wonders makes for an inspirational story of discovery and environmental conservation issues.
