This is a really well-written book, with an excellent choice of subjects to focus on and an engaging form of reportage. It is after a long time that I find myself with such a book in hand that links people and land and the rest of nature in India, which I feel like I should recommend to everyone to read for the quality of the writing and the perceptive coverage of the underlying issues.

This book really needs to be out there more prominently than the half a dozen or so other new books on wildlife/nature conservation and environmental issues in India that have hit the bookshelves over the last year or so.
