Trade softcover, near very good condition
Cynthia Moss has lived with the elephants in Kenya's Amboseli National Park for twenty years, spending many hours with them almost every day. In this riveting book, she writes about her closest elephant friends - the regal matriarchs Teresia and Slit Ear; their younger female relations Torn Ear, Tuskless, Tallulah, Tania; and the great bull elephant, Bad Bull. With her we observe the daily drama of their closely knit lives: the search for food and joyful reunions after even a few days apart; the excitement of elephantine mating and birth; the struggle against drought, disease, poachers, and tourism; the elaborate vocalizations and riotous play; the poignant ways they remember their dead.
For animal lovers and anyone concerned with the preservation of wildlife, Cynthia Moss as written an extraordinary chronicle. Elephant Memories is nothing less than an impassioned plea for the elephants' continued survival.

#3 THE FATE OF THE ELEPHANT
Douglas H. Chadwick
Sierra Club Books, San Francisco, CA, 1992, First Printing
Hardcover, very good condition, dust jacket is very good
Douglas Chadwick travels the world to acquaint us with these awesome giants. We travel to East Africa and join elephant families on the savannas of Amboseli Reserve in the shadow of Kilimanjaro.
In each place we visit, Chadwick reveals the elephant as a playful, intelligent being, fully of surprises and ready to smash the narrow confines from which we traditionally view animals. As he shows us how similar elephants are to humans - they travel in closely knit families, learn from each other, look after their ill and elderly, mourn their dead, and communicate through a vocabulary of audible and subsonic sounds that add up to a surprisingly nuanced and expressive language - he leads us to rethink our definition of and approach to conservation.
