Synopsis

A true adventure tale from the author of the award-winning The Soul of the Rhino (a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2008), The Bones of the Tiger is set in Nepal's Royal Chitwan National Park.This time the focus is on man-eating tigers. Hemanta Mishra is a well-respected biologist and conservationist, who has worked with the Smithsonian Institution, the World Wildlife Fund and the World Bank.He was awarded the J. Paul Getty Wildlife Conservation Prize and is credited with halting the extinction of the rhino and tiger populations in Nepal by merging Eastern philosophy with Western science. Mishra has been called a "gutsy, committed man and a charming writer" by National Geographic Adventure. Key Selling Points: * 2010 is the Year of the Tiger (14 Feb 2010 to 2 Feb 2011). * The exotic locale of the Himalayas is intriguing to armchair travellers and those interested in Eastern philosophy. * There is no book that explains the real story of atypical tiger behavior that ultimately leads to conflict with humans, sometimes resulting in death. * Book will include 15 stunning photos by Mashahiro Iijima,a renowned Japanese photographer.
