Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Tree Tops, Jim Corbett recounts one of his most extraordinary and personal adventures-a month-long stay in a treehouse deep in the forests of the Kumaon region, where he witnessed the majestic wildlife of India up close, in all its raw beauty. This hook is a unique blend of adventure, nature writing, and reflection, as Corbett recounts his experiences living among the animals he had studied for years. Through his vivid descriptions, readers are taken to the heart of the jungle, where tigers, leopards, elephants, and a host of other creatures move in and out of view. The highlight of Corbett's time in the treehouse is his encounter with the renowned man-eating leopard of Rudraprayag, but the narrative also weaves in the larger, more profound stories of the natural world. Tree Tops is more than just a chronicle of Corbett's time in the trees; it's an exploration of the relationships between humans and wildlife, a celebration of nature's wonder, and a poignant meditation on the fragility of both the wilderness and human life. This book provides readers a rare glimpse into the personal side of Corbett's life and his deep love for the untamed world Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Laminated boards. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. The author, a naturalist, revisits the scenes of some of Corbett's adventures, and offers his own views on tiger, elephant, dhole, tahr, goral and mahseer. "The essays in this book convey the beauty and thrill of Indian forests and their wildlife to the non-specialist. Dr Johnsingh takes us for walks in the jungle with him, and we see through trained eyes what we would never otherwise look for. In each essay he tracks a different animal and tells us not only of his experiences, but also of the habits, biology and current condition of the species he is discussing. The essays are at once a celebration of India's wilderness and a passionate - and informed - cry for us to save it before it is too late." Chapters include: In the beginning; Trailing Jim Corbett; The whistling hunter; The Tahr hills; The leap of the goat antelope; The vanishing tiger; Mammoths at love and war; Revisiting Corbett country; The flight of the mahseer; Tracking the lions of Gir. .
