Of Tigers and Men: Entering the Age of Extinction (inscribed to George Schaller)
NY: Avon Books, 1996. First edition. Softcover. A nice association copy, inscribed on the title page in the year of publication: "May 21, 1998, For Dr. George Schaller, with great admiration and best wishes -- Richard Ives." One of the most renown wildlife biologists of all time, Schaller was profiled in Peter Matthiessen's classic The Snow Leopard, and he studied other big cats extensively. His third book was on tigers in India (see our signed copy), and he won the National Book Award in Science for The Serengeti Lion. This is Ives's acclaimed travelogue exploration of tigers 30 years after Schaller's book on the subject. The New York Times called Of Tigers and Men a "classic" and Jane Goodall, at the top of the front wrap, dubs it "a masterful book." Blurb also by Bill McKibben. A very good or better paperback with slight slant to spine, light toning to page edges. A fantastic tiger association. Very good. Item #2032
