      About This Book

      In 1986, Alan Rabinowitz was invited by the Thai government to study leopards, tigers, and other wild animals in the Huai Kha Khaeng valley, one of Southeast Asia's largest and most valued wilderness areas. Chasing the Dragon's Tail is the story of the author's life and adventures in the valley's forests as well as in the streets and markets of Bangkok, as he worked to save Thailand's threatened wildlife. An absorbing, passionate account of the region's people and wildlife, the book gives us an intimate look at a modern zoologist's life in the field. This Island Press edition of Chasing the Dragon's Tail includes an afterword by the author that brings the story up to date, recounting the surprising strides one of the world's oldest cultures has recently made in wildlife protection.
