After spending many years with wildlife, these men and women bring us fascinating stories of their experiences and encounters.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCliff Rice, an animal explorer, camps for two years in the mountains of Kerala and befriends the Nilgiri tahr with fistfuls of salt. Ralph Morris, one of the first British coffee planters in the Biligirirangan Hills of Karnataka, goes on a ‘ tiger beat’ and ends up chasing a pair of tigers towards his daughter, who is armed only with pebbles to defend herself. Sally Walker comes to India to learn yoga and Sanskrit but spends years caring for baby chimpanzees and tiger cubs in zoos instead. Rom Whitaker, a reptile conservationist, sets off on an international hunt for giant crocodiles that takes him from Orissa to Egypt, and Manish Chandi tells a fascinating tale about Meroe— the rumbling Nicobar island— where he studied sea turtles and other wildlife.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nZai Whitaker, herself a nature writer and author of well-loved children's books, brings together in this collection the writings of eminent wildlife experts such as Bittu Sahgal, Ian Lockwood, Ramachandra Guha and many others. Filled with anecdotes that are at once incredible and informative, The Rumbling Island is an entertaining account of India's most precious natural asset— our forests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143330110\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.0 x 0.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"‎Penguin India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49089830060336,"sku":"Prakash_9780143330110","price":169.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/penguin-india-book-default-title-rumbling-island-the-38803639206192.jpg?v=1753011990","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/rumbling-island-the","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
