Book Description
Ugly yet enchanting, terrifying yet delicate, the Indian Rhinoceros is a magnificent animal. It is also in danger of being killed off for good. The Soul of the Rhino is a spirited account of one man’s journey to protect the animal in the foothills of the Himalayas. Hemanta Mishra was fresh out of university when he embarked on his conservation work in the 1970s. Over the years, he got help from an ornery but steadfast elephant driver, the Nepalese royal family and like-minded scientists. He also did outstanding work--creating nature reserves, arm-wrestling politicians and raising awareness. But Mishra hasn’t won his battle to save the rhino. As he shows vividly, armed insurgence, political violence and poaching are driving this endangered species to complete extinction. Filled with candour and bittersweet humour, The Soul of the Rhino is the first book of its kind to delve into the labyrinths of South Asian wildlife conservation and one man’s endurance in the face of it all.

Book Description
"This beautifully illustrated book covers a generous selection of the thousands of species that exist around the world. It demonstrates their exciting diversity of appearance and behavior and their amazing adaptations. It also shows their relationships with their habitats-from the rich tropical rain forests to the sparse tundra and polar regions. THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WORLD WILDLIFE is packed with information. The most interesting features of each species are explained in detail-how it evolved, what makes it unique, how it has adapted to its surroundings, and its characteristic behavior. This information is backed up by quick-reference panels that present the key data about each animal-its Latin name, how it is classified by scientists, its habitat and geographical distribution, its average size, and its preferred food. Many of the animals featured in the book are in danger of extinction. When this is the case, the text explains why this is happening and what, if anything, is being done to protect the species. As well as telling you which species are endangered, THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WORLD WILDLIFE also helps the animals themselves. The royalties go direct to the World Wildlife Fund-the organization that, more than any other, is working to promote the cause of conservation and helping to protect endangered species all over the world."--Jacket
