The
new class of naturalists gives equal
attention to smaller animals and
trees, as evident in the pieces on the
blackbuck, the wild dog, the turtle,
the cobra, and the comings and goings
at a waterhole in summer. The volume
also documents new trends in the study
of animal behaviors and life, in the
accounts of Valmik Thapar and R.
Sukumar which detail the family life
of tigers and elephants. The dilemmas
of conservation come alive in this
book, and alert us to the needed for
efforts to keep nature a haven for
wildlife as well as a home for man.
