Book Description
“The day was hot, the air was still and dust devils danced across the bush as Lofty waited in the shade at the edge of the forest, sometimes lifting his great trunk to test the air for scent. Suddenly there it was, the smell of humans and the guns they carried; he knew the poachers were not far away.” “Suddenly and shockingly, there was an explosion of water and a huge crocodile leapt out of the shallows and fastened its jaws onto a young elephant’s leg, dragging him back into the water.” “Raising his trunk to its full extent, Lofty caught the faint but distinctive smell that came from burning grass and trees, and knew that this was the start of a bush fire, always a great danger to animals caught in its path.” Travel the bush tracks and forests of Africa with Lofty the elephant and experience the sights and sounds of wild Africa. See through the eyes of an elephant, the dangers and challenges faced by him and his herd as they follow their ancient migration routes across this vast continent.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 210

Book Description
Through the lens of Rowe's relationships with two Kenyan conservationistsWangari Maathai and Daphne Sheldrickthis book surveys a number of prejudices that many of us who are fortunate to be born with the privileges attached to our skin color, sex, and access to resources don't like to deal with: race, misogyny, and the legacy of empire. By examining the two women's memoirs (Unbowed and Love, Life, and Elephants), both of which were launched following talks at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, these metaphorical elephants in the room are combined with a study of the exploitation of actual elephants on the continent of Africa, and the iterations of memory that are disclosed or hidden in the writing of memoirs and the collecting of bones for museums.
