Through photographs by Fateh Singh Rathore and Valmik Thapar, this book illustrates the fate of the tiger from the early days of the Ranthambore Sanctuary and Project Tiger, through to the present, taking a look into the future of the tiger in the new millennium. An essay by Thapar evokes the first few years of the sanctuary and goes on to discuss the difficulties of tiger conservation in an economically backward and overpopulated country like India. It brings alive the fascination of observing the secret life of this predominantly nocturnal animal. This lavishly produced book contains 120 superb photographs which will make this a delight for all those interested in the fate of this magnificent animal.

This review is from: Wild Tigers of Ranthambore (Oxford India Collection) (Paperback)
A fine book of photos, many quite rich in color and amazing in content. Prose is geared toward the least knowledgeable person among us. Author again shows his love of the Panthera tigris and his devotion to their conservation. A nice book for hte coffee table.
