A mix of Western science and Eastern mythology, [this book] could be called Zen and the Art of Rhinoceros Maintenance.’ ” New York Post [Mishra’s] a gutsy, committed man and a charming writer and the rhinos could have no faster friend.” National Geographic Adventure The Soul of the Rhino . . . provides not only a rare insight into the personality and behavior of the highly endangered and little-known Asian rhino, but an equally absorbing picture of the people who share its habitat.”Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE; founder, the Jane Goodall Institute; and UN Messenger of Peace [Mishra] describes his contacts with everyone from poacher and foreigner to bureaucrat, royalty and rhino. I enjoyed The Soul of the Rhino immensely.”
George B. Schaller, Wildlife Conservation Society This is the first book of its kind that proves that nature conservation in Asia does not only depend upon good Western science. But, like politics in America, it is an art.” Lodi Gyari, Special Envoy of His Holiness the Dalai Lama For anyone interested in wildlife, the Himalayan region, or Hindu and Buddhist culture, this book is a delight.” Kenneth Nebenzahl, director of the American Himalayan Foundation, member of the WWF-US Council
