"A powerful blend of science and personal disclosure, An
Indomitable Beast is an excellent introduction to this
species...This is a must read for anyone even the slightest bit
interested in big cats."-- "The Jaguar and Its Allies"
"...An Indomitable Beast is an extraordinary examination of these
dangerous yet magnificent creatures. A bibliography, an index, and
a handful of color plates enhance this absolute "must-read" for
fans of big cats in general, and jaguars in particular. Highly
recommended!"-- "Midwest Book Review"
"A riveting tale of environmental success...An Indomitable Beast
begins with an exhaustively researched natural history of the
jaguar from palaeo to present. And in telling the cat's story,
Rabinowitz takes the reader on a personal quest, from ancient Mayan
ruins to London Zoo, as he seeks to uncover the unique 'jaguarness'
of the animal he seeks to protect."-- "New Scientist"
"In An Indomitable Beast, Mr. Rabinowitz, the author of several
books on his conservation work and travels, revisits the first big
cats of his career. Questions of "jaguarness"--how jaguars think
and the unique anatomical and behavioral features that affect their
prospects for long-term survival--still intrigue him after three
decades, and this book is a welcome retrospective of what he and
others have learned about jaguars so far, and what's being done for
them now."-- "Wall Street Journal"
