“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
