Eric Dinerstein’s book Tigerland and Other Unintended Destinations provides a vivid account of some incredible wild places and magical creatures that inhabit our planet. Tigerland engages the reader’s attention from the first chapter and keeps you riveted until the end. The first three chapters focus on Dinerstein’s adventures and experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer and graduate student. The later chapters are accounts of Dinerstein’s professional experience at the World Wildlife Fund. Tigerland provides passionate accounts of travels to and conservation efforts in well-known places such as Serengeti and Galapagos, and lesser-known yet equally awe-inspiring places like New Caledonia. Dinerstein takes readers on a journey from observing tigers and snow leopards in Asia, to bats and otters in the Americas. The chapters provide you with glimpse of spectacular places such as the Galapagos and North American Great Plains and their unique natural history.
