Tigers of the World. by Ronald L. Tilson.
"Ron Tilson, director of conservation at Minnesota Zoo, co-author of a new edition of the encyclopedic Tigers of the World and, with decades of fieldwork in Asia's tiger habitats under his belt, [is] an authority - maybe the authority - on our most endangered big cat." -"Tale of the Cat" by Andrew Marshall (Time magazine)
Tigers in Red Weather. Ruth Padel
"Padel is best known as one of Britain's most admired poets, so it's hardly surprising that her observations in Tigers in Red Weather are as striking as her title. With the ear of a playwright, she replicates speech patterns so deftly you can distinguish the differing English accents of her Chinese, Indian and Russian guides. She's really terrific at this Even without the tiger lore, Padel's actual adventures and misadventures, while trekking, kayaking, climbing or riding an elephant, would on their own make for a first-class travel book Indeed, the chapters on Bhutan and Ussuriland provide superb short introductions to these little-known parts of the world. But the tiger lore and tiger love remain at center stage" Washington Post

Tiger. Animals in Art. Joanna Skipwith.
BBC Wildlife Magazine have described the book as 'An inspiring way to support tiger conservation'.
About tigers and for tigers. Recently voted the world's favourite animal but sadly the future is not looking orange. This beautiful book includes fascinating facts about their behaviour and shows how tigers have inspired artists across the centuries. It raises awareness of their plight and funds to protect them. Income from the book will go to 21st Century Tiger to help keep tigers in the wild. The book combines information about the real animals as well as fictional ones from literature and film: Shere Khan, Diego and Tigger, and includes striking images from all over the world: paintings by Rubens, Salvador Dali and Delacroix. Written for children (8 and above), it has charmed the adult reader as well.
