Book overview

A classic work of natural history by a legendary, National Book Award-winning scientist and ecologist The Deer and the Tiger is Geporge B. Schaller's detailed account of the ecology and behavior of Bengal tigers and four species of the hoofed mammals on which they prey, based on extensive field observations in India's Kanha National Park. Like all of Schaller's classic books, it combines rich scientific knowledge with a remarkable ability to convey scene, setting, and incident. The result is a riveting account of wildlife in a region few of us will ever get to visit in person.
