The Soul of the Rhino: A Nepali Adventure with Kings… par Hemanta Mishra
An excellent meshing of the culture and natural history of Nepal by a not impassionate observer/player in the game.
A fairly quick but good read by a native of Nepal who has been protecting wildlife there for decades. It's interesting to hear the perspective from someone who is actually from a third world country instead of an American or European conservationist.

The book is a mixture of personal stories, history, biology and the current state of tigers. 2010 was the Year of the Tiger and this was an excellent contribution, I applaud Mishra for his dedication and work. He also lead me to an obscure book Tiger for Breakfast which I hope to read soon.… (plus d'informations)
