520 0 _aTwelve years in the making, this joyous celebration features elephants from the wildest reaches of Botswana to the teeming cities of India. Here is an uncanny portrait of one of nature's noblest creatures, not only in its diversity of habitat, but also in its diversity of moods. Sweeping aerial shots of herds in motion juxtapose with intimate portraits of elephants up close--from tender moments between mother and calf to dramatic confrontations between two bulls. Distinct as they may be from humans, elephants share surprisingly similar characteristics: they have family structures like our own, they show loyalty and allegiance to those closest to them, they grieve as well as express joy, and -- as these photographs show -- they have strongly individual personalities.
