The second edition of "Tigers of the World" explores tiger
biology, ecology, conservation, management, and the science and
technology that make this possible. In 1988, when the first edition
was published, tiger conservation was still in its infancy, and two
decades later there has been a revolution not only in what is
known, but how information about tigers is obtained and
disseminated. In the fast changing world of conservation, there is
a great need to summarize the vast and current state-of-the-art, to
put this into historical perspective, and to speculate in what yet
remains to be done. "Tigers of the World, 2e" fulfills this need by
bringing together in a unique way the world s leading tiger experts
into one volume. Despite the challenges ahead, there are bright
spots in this story and lessons aplenty not only for tiger
specialists but large carnivore specialists, conservation
biologists, wildlife managers, natural resource policymakers, and
most importantly the caring public. *Examines the past twenty years of research from the world s leading tiger expertson biology, politics, and conservation. *Describes latest methods used to disseminate and obtaininformation needed for conservation and care of this species. *Includes coverage on genetics and ecology, policy, poaching and trade, captive breeding and farming, and the status of Asia s last wild tigers. *Excellent resource for grad courses in conservation biology, wildlife management, and veterinary programs. *New volume continues the classic Noyes Series in Animal Behavior, Ecology, Conservation and Management.
