Jungle Lore

Jungle Lore by Corbett, Jim. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780195651850.

Jim Corbett, naturalist, shikari, and conservationist is famous for his tales of hunting in the Indian Jungle. Many years before the issues of conservation became understood, Corbett was obsessed with the jungle and animals of the Kumaon hills. This new edition of Jungle Lore offers Corbetts own story of his life and career. At the heart of the narrative is a cry for sensitivity to the fragility of nature, and despair over mankinds divorce from his environment--a message as vibrant today as it ever was.
