The
Natural History of the Wild Cats
by Andrew Kitchener
Book Description:
Everyone is familiar with the big cats--the lion, tiger, leopard, and
jaguar--members of the genus Panthera. The smaller cats--members of the
genus Felis--are less familiar. This absorbing book, considered "a comprehensive
survey" by David Quammen, writing in the New York Times Book Review, presents
what is known about the thirty-seven or so species of the world's cats,
including abundant information on the much-neglected smaller members of
the cat family.
"Dr. Kitchener . . . has made a readable, up-to-date synthesis of what
we know about cats, his account always strengthened by the comparative
point of view."--Scientific American "The numerous tables and comprehensive
bibliography will appeal to the scientist, while the breadth of topics
discussed, summary of numerous studies published in hard-to-find journals,
numerous graphs and line drawings, and emphasis on the smaller cats and
their behaviour, will make it of wider interest."--John Deag, Times

Land
Of The Tiger: A Natural History of the Indian Subcontinent
by Valmik Thapar
In this companion volume to the BBC/PBS television series, Indian biologist
Valmik Thapar, a specialist on tigers, takes a leisurely look at the extraordinary
animals that inhabit the subcontinent, among them serpent eagles and kiangs,
water monitors and one-horned rhinoceroses, cobras and bustards. Although
India and the adjoining countries are crowded with humans, and although
wildlife-protection laws are a recent development there, animal life continues
to thrive; the diversity of flora and fauna, Thapar writes, are the richest
in the world. He attributes this uncommon variety of species to religious
beliefs that accord the living world an uncommon respect and reverence.
Anyone planning a visit to India will benefit from this lively book, as
will those who are merely curious. Amazon.com

The
Snow Leopard
by Peter Matthiessen, Edward Hoagland (Editor)
In the autumn of 1973, the writer Peter Matthiessen set out in the
company of zoologist George Schaller on a hike that would take them 250
miles into the heart of the Himalayan region of Dolpo, "the last enclave
of pure Tibetan culture on earth." Their voyage was in quest of one of
the world's most elusive big cats, the snow leopard of high Asia, a creature
so rarely spotted as to be nearly mythical; Schaller was one of only two
Westerners known to have seen a snow leopard in the wild since 1950.
Published in 1978, The Snow Leopard is rightly regarded as a classic
of modern nature writing. Guiding his readers through steep-walled canyons
and over tall mountains, Matthiessen offers a narrative that is shot through
with metaphor and mysticism, and his arduous search for the snow leopard
becomes a vehicle for reflections on all manner of matters of life and
death. In the process, The Snow Leopard evolves from an already exquisite
book of natural history and travel into a grand, Buddhist-tinged parable
of our search for meaning. By the end of their expedition, having seen
wolves, foxes, rare mountain sheep, and other denizens of the Himalayas,
and having seen many signs of the snow leopard but not the cat itself,
Schaller muses, "We've seen so much, maybe it's better if there are some
things that we don't see."
That sentiment, as well as the sense of wonder at the world's beauty
that pervades Matthiessen's book, ought to inform any journey into the
wild. --Gregory McNamee - Amazon.com
