More than compelling, Tigers Forever is a monumental achievement in prose and images. The book is so riveting—nothing short of a hymn about the most endangered of all the big cats—that no reader could conceive of a world without them."

"With eloquent text and photographs of

unsurpassed beauty, Tigers Forever opens the eyes of the world to what is happening to the tiger, one

of its greatest natural treasures."
