Through the miracle of photography and the beholding eye of a
master photographer such as Myers, we are able to experience the
land and life in India's last remaining wild jungles. This is the
land of the tiger and elephant and monkey and rhino and a treasure
trove of other species. But, as noted writer William deBuys shares
in his provocative essay, poaching is a persistent and pervasive
problem, and the natural habitat for wild animals is shrinking at
an alarming rate due to expanding development and
industrialization. Tigers, for example, are now extinct in
ninety-three percent of their historical range worldwide, and,
without wildlife refuges such as Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Karizanga, and
others in India, their numbers would plummet further.Few citizens
of the world will ever experience firsthand the jungles and wild
places of India, but in Myers's visual discovery they can witness
the excitement and energy of coming upon wild game in a moment's
notice and experiencing religious shrines and rural life in nearby
villages that seem to blend in effortlessly with the adjacent
wilderness."The Jungle at the Door" is that rare glimpse into
another world, a world that depends not only on human awareness of
what is lost when the jungle is gone, but also the courage and
foresight to preserve remaining wild places everywhere, from those
in India to our own home ground.(See the publisher's website for
