Description
The complete story of elephants in one expertly written, lavishly illustrated volume that explores ten major themes, from the emergence of the first elephant ancestors to the status of African and Asian elephants in the modern world. Throughout, the emphasis is on presenting accurate, up-to- date information – often involving complex subjects – but always supported by explanatory graphics and carefully chosen photographs that foster a clear understanding of the concepts under review. Many of the photographs have been supplied by the authors and provide new insights into the varied world of elephants. The result is a book that evokes and sustains the fascination that man has always held for these magnificent creatures – the largest of all living land animals.
