There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

About the two versions. One (Lofdahl and Shevlakov) was published in 2004, whereas the other was in 2012. Are you sure we're talking about the same monograph? One would expect some differences.
My intention was to provide to some posters that actually don’t have the 11 dollars at this moment, the way to read this book.
Maybe $11 is not much for you, but for other persons it is. At this moment, for example, I don’t have that quantity at hand, at least not for a book, even if is one that I care. So, I think that my intention was legit, and never tried to disturb anyone by posting it.
By the way, it IS the same book, no idea of the reliability of the translation of the online version of 2004, but at least is helpful for the reasons explained before. There will be always differences between translations, that is for sure, but for what I have read, the translation is coherent and reliable. Maybe, when I buy the book for the WCS I would compare it better.
In conclusion I am NOT diminishing the new translation and the new book, for the contrary, if you have the money and you like tigers, buy it, it will help them. But for those that don’t have the money right now, there is also the free version. Now, if my link presents a problem I can erase it right now, although this is NOT an illegal copy or something like that, it is an authorized translation that has been here since much before we even started this “animal vs animal” forums.
Ps. I hope not to sound rude, but sincerely, I don’t know how to take your comment.
