"Situated in the Northeastern State of Assam, the National Park of Kaziranga attracts a sizeable number of tourists every year -- local as well as overseas. A world heritage site, this park offers the visitor stunning glimpses of the magnificent Indian one-horned rhinoceros, the Asiatic wild water buffalo, the Asian elephant and tiger, and a number of birds. Perhaps for the first time, Kaziranga comes in for scrutiny in such form. Its history, flora, fauna, conservation status are discussed in detail, supplemented by attractive visual references. Written in extremely readable language, this book is bound to be of interest, to the reader in general and to conservationists and tourists, in particular."
