A dramatically close encounter with tigers in their native lands, documented by award-winning National Geographic photographer Steve Winter, who tells the story of the worldwide fight to protect the species. Fascinating to animal lovers, environmentalists, and all lovers of cats, big and small. National Geographic presents a testament to these noble, yet deeply endangered tigers. Photographing the big cats' primary habitats in India, Sumatra, and Thailand, Steve Winter gets up close and personal with tigers in their most private moments, both tender and terrifying. He tells the story in pictures and words of how he came to be one of the world's foremost advocates for this iconic animal. Partnering with Panthera, an international big cat advocacy group, Winter is able to weave in the voices of committed people from around the world who dedicate their lives to saving the tiger from extinction, and the inspiring tales of top conservationists; their concerns over the future of tigers; and their solutions, including hard work, community involvement, and indigenous cooperation in India, Sumatra, and Thailand. With more than 120 images of tigers in the wild and real encounters, this boo

Industry Reviews

"A monumental achievement in prose and images. The book is so riveting--nothing short of a hymn about the most endangered of all the big cats--that no reader could conceive of a world without them."--Tom Lovejoy, conservation biologist

"Vivid descriptions and imagery...retell a tale from deep within the jungle." --Public Library Of Science

"Raise[s] an alarm about the state of this imperiled species ." -WhoWhatWhy.com

"Yes, photographer Steve Winter captures the sheer awe, beauty and power of one of the Earth's most majestic creatures....That's an understatement. But what adds to the book's obvious visual appeal is how Winter and freelance writer Sharon Guynup...get to the heart of what all great journalism is about: Why it matters."--TOM HENRY, environment writer, The Toledo Blade

"If you read only one book about species on the verge of extinction today, this is the one to read. Steve Winter's gorgeous photos of majestic tigers, coupled with Sharon Guynup's moving stories of why they are declining tells it all. We learn about the men and women dedicated to protecting the 3,500 tigers left in the wild and what we can do to help. Winter manages to capture the very essence of tiger in his stunning photographs. Beautiful book in every way." Jane Alexander, actor and conservationist
