Spotted #WildHimalayas @stephenalter

Amid the opulence and brutality of nineteenth-century India, colourful bandits fight for survival. James Webley—a brave but erratic English commander—has joined forces with the romantic Colonel Augustine, son of an Englishwoman and a noble Indian. Together they have rejected the rigours of mercenary service to pursue a lawless career of pillage. #SilkandSteel by @stephenalter

@stephenalter at his best. "Carbon Footprints" a must read for elephant folks.

"Wandering through Bhimbetka, I am conscious of the spiritual resonance of nature, the invisible threads that tie us to other forms of life through memory, dreams, and desires. A three-striped palm squirrel scampers up and over a rock, then down the other side, chittering and raising its bushy tail in alarm. While running away it tempts me to follow it into the jungle beyond. A baronet butterfly alights on a stone, its orange wings like petals of fire blooming in the bright sunlight..."

India has always had a strong spiritual connection to nature, and the writer delves deep into myth and religion to show how reverence for the environment has been an inalienable part of our heritage. Yet, today, in the name of progress and civilization, the wilderness is being laid to waste despite the efforts of pioneering conservationists like Salim Ali, Billy Arjan Singh, M. Krishnan, Jim Corbett, Hugh Allen, and their present-day counterparts, all of whom come alive in the pages of the book. @stephenalter’s #TheCobrasGaze is a powerful celebration of the incredible wildlife and wild places of India.
