"Tigers have been admired and revered by human cultures for thousands of years. They have also been ruthlessly persecuted as pests or killed for trophies and body parts. Now, the tiger is used as a powerful symbol for global conservation. "Wildlife biologist Ullas Karanth, who has studied wild tigers since the 1980'S. takes us on a journey into their secret world. He looks at how humans have interacted with tigers from prehistoric times to the present day, and at how modern science has helped us replace traditional tiger myths with reliable knowledge. He shows how tigers evolved and spread, across snowbound Russia to the dry forests of India, from the reed beds of Iran to the rainforests of Indonesia, only to be constricted again by human activities such as agriculture, hunting, and economic development. We learn how these solitary animals live in the wild,find each other, raise cubs and eventually die. "Ullas Karanth brings a unique combination of practical experience, deep commitment and scientific rigour to this up-to-date study, illustrated by some of the world's leading wildlife photographers."

Broad cultural concepts of family, individuality and the nature of childhood are discussed. The author analyzes the implications of mothers' ideas about these for key childrearing preoccupations of time, discipline and the independence of children. An important theme that emerges is the diversity behind the image of the 'ordinary family'. Drawing on empirical evidence of mothers' concerns and understandings of childrear.
