Book Description
Before the 1900s, hundreds of thousands of wild tigers roamed Southeast Asia. Their beauty, fierceness, and intelligence inspired fear and awe in their human neighbors. These peoples gave the tiger starring roles in folktales and mythology. Human fascination with tigers continues. Unfortunately, the tiger may not survive in the wild much longer. Researchers estimate that fewer than 2,500 tigers remain in their natural habitat. As the human population explodes in Southeast Asia, the wild tiger population pays the price. Can the wild tiger be saved by its only natural enemy, people?

Book Description
This history of the Bengal Famine of 1943 describes the interplay of politics, economics, sociology and military policy, which caused a famine due to a lack of cash, not a lack of food. The Famine, whose story is almost unknown due to wartime censorship by the British, occurred because of a hyperinflation in the price of rice caused by the provisioning for the major offensive against the Japanese on India's eastern borders. Relief efforts were halfhearted because much of the countryside was in a state of endemic revolt against the British. The logistical problems caused by massive gifts of food by the British and Indian troops to the starving people threatened to stall the forthcoming offensive. The cause of the Famine was the deadly alienation between the Bengalis and their British rulers.

Book Description
Chiko-The Bengal Tiger is a fiction picture story book to raise the awareness of the poaching of tigers and wildlife protection of endangered species to children. Poaching of tigers involves the capture and killing of vulnerable tigers and this illegal act is a major threat to the 'Bengal Tiger' which constitutes over 75% of the tiger population in its entirety found mainly in Bangladesh, India, Bhutan and Burma. Human beings are the tiger's top most predator for popular games with trophies and to hold a prestigious status title in some societies. Tigers are brutally killed for traditional East Asian medicine for a range of purposes with no scientific findings to prove that these are really beneficial. Also, the selling of the tiger's fur on the black market with very high profitable gains to a seller is an international concern. This book is an essential read for children to feel the connection of the dramatic tension about the illegal act of poaching and how we as humans should show remorse and responsibility for the protection of wildlife to live a complete life on the planet. Chiko-The Bengal Tiger is a touching bedtime story to be read by parents to their children. The book is also an essential educational tool for teachers to use as part of guided reading, creative classroom group discussions on the theme of poaching and humane character behaviour to protect wildlife on our planet.
