Indigenous to Asia, and once widely distributed across the continent, the tiger is yet another of the world's creatures to come perilously close to extinction in the last century. Where a hundred years ago the population of Panthera tigris and its cousins stood at more than 100,000, a 1995 census put the total at less than 5,000. And, writes Peter Matthiessen, a longtime student and champion of endangered wildlife, "most biologists and conservationists . would set that number even lower."Working with the noted wildlife biologist and photographer Maurice Hornocker, Matthiessen recounts his travels into the Russian Far East and Manchuria in search of one of the rarest of the big cats, Panthera tigris altaica, the Siberian tiger. Once shielded, and not by design, by Communist policies that restricted travel in and development of its wilderness habitat, the Siberian tiger is increasingly threatened throughout much of its range as the dense old-growth forests of the Pacific seaboard fall to Japanese logging companies; at the same time, the tiger is still hunted for parts used by Chinese apothecaries (drinking the essence of a tiger is thought to bring renewed sexual vigor to aging men). Matthiessen, whose text brims with a righteous rage on the tiger's behalf, is able to report a few success stories, as Russian, Chinese, and American biologists work to conserve habitat in the wild country memorialized by V.K. Arseniev's Dersu the Trapper, a memoir that informs Matthiessen's own book. But his book is also full of tragedy, of terrible stories that help press a case for why the Siberian tiger should be protected everywhere in its domain. Matching a thoughtful, well-crafted text with remarkable photographs of tigers in the wild, this is a book that, with luck, will help spur renewed interest in making the world safe for wildlife of all kinds. Peter Matthiessen (May 22, 1927 ? April 5, 2014) was an American novelist, naturalist, wilderness writer, and zen teacher. A co-founder of the literary magazine The Paris Review, he was the only writer to have won the National Book Award in both nonfiction (The Snow Leopard, 1979, category Contemporary Thought) and fiction (Shadow Country, 2008). He was also a prominent environmental activist.

Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First edition. This richly illustrated book is a welcome event for scientists, writers, photographers, and armchair travelers, since here, for the first time in book form, are reproduced more than 300 color photographs by Tui De Roy Moore, the only photographer who has had access to the Galapagos since childhood. For more than ten years she has concentrated on capturing the most unusual and revealing aspects of the islands - views that have eluded photographers with limited time and access to remote areas. Here we can see large groups of wild tortoises atop the volcano Alcedo, the nesting albatross on Hood Island, and such rarely seen species as the flightless rail, the Galapagos owl, and the woodpecker finch. Mrs. Moore was able to film eruptions of the volcano on Fernandina Island and to spend hours waiting for the perfect shot of a Galapagos hawk circling the smoldering caldera. She has also recorded a battle between bull sea lions, albatrosses in courtship display, and the flowering of endemic plants never even seen by tourists. Her text, which encompasses the latest scientific theories about the formation of the Galapagos, the evolution of its wildlife, and her own observations about its ecology and conservation, is another unique feature of this remarkable book. Tui De Roy is an award-winning wildlife photographer, naturalist, and author of many books on wildlife themes around the world. She is also an ardent conservationist who has combined her life?s three passions ? Wildness, Photography and Conservation ? into a successful career as a world communicator striving to sensitize her audiences to take better care of our natural planet.
