Review:
"A tightly-woven story of human warmth, strange cultures, fabulous wildlife, and scientific discovery." (Carl Safina - Author of Song for the Blue Ocean and Voyage of the Turtle)
"[This] book is far more than just this marvellous discovery and its role in the social lives of elephant. O’Connell also tells hauntingly of having to navigate the increasing conflict between the world of wild elephants and the world of humans trying to eke out survival from the soils of Africa, and how both sides lose in the process. This is a deeply engaging book." (Robert Sapolsky - Professor of Biological Sciences at Stanford University and author of Why Zebras D)
“This fascinating book reads like a fast paced detective story of scientific discovery and adventure.” (Iain Douglas-Hamilton - author of Among the Elephants, and co-author with his wife Oria, of Battle f)
