A wonderful book that gives a very thorough overview of tigers in the world. More academic than a casual read, "Tigers of the World" should answer most questions that anyone would have about tigers.

Perfect Scientific review of tiger conservation and tiger research over the past 50yrs as written by the top leaders in tiger conservation from multiple organizations and disciplines.

I don't want to "conserve" good ol' Panthera tigris, I don't want a tiger corridore through Bhutan, I don't want city dwellers in India to be attacked and eaten by tigers that break into their flats on fifth floor, just because some British Raj colonialist-scientists love tigers - as long as they don't roam Central Park or Beverly Hills. Read my lips, tigers have no rights. They should be killed on sight or isolated in very, very far-removed wilderness preserves with large fences around them. India doesn't need tigers. They need nuclear power, fast trains and (perhaps) more zoos. They certainly don't need "Panthera tigris". They have been around for 1.6 million years, spreading mayhem throughout the animal kingdom. Enough is enough! Now it's our turn.
