Spell of the tiger : the man-eaters of Sundarbans / Sy Montgomery

Filled with beauty and suspense, this book is a deep quest by a superb nature writer to plumb the reality of the Sundarbans, one of the world's great tidal deltas, and one of the last hunting grounds of the Bengal tiger. The people of the Sundarbans see the huge, silent killer not only as prey sees its predator, but as a holy man sees his god.
