About this title

Synopsis

The African elephant is one of the most majestic creatures on Earth, yet it faces an uncertain future. Walking Thunder is a superb tribute to the remarkable beauty of these endangered animals. Striking duotone images by award-winning photographers Cyril Christo and Marie Wilkinson capture not only the awesome strength and size of the African elephant, but also its gentleness and human-like emotions. Accompanying the photographs are quotations, myths and stories from the past 400 years, from folklore and from explorers and tribal members, presenting both Western and indigenous perspectives. At once entrancing and thought-provoking, this is the perfect book for anyone passionate about the conservation of our planet.

About the Author

Cyril Christo and Marie Wilkinson are photographers who document the relationship between indigenous peoples and the natural world. Their book Lost Africa: The Eyes of Origin was published in 2004. Dr Dame Daphne Sheldrick is founder of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya, and the recipient of many awards for her wildlife conservation work.

Please Call First to make sure we'll be here, and that we carry the kinds of books you're interested in. We have lots of 'good reads', but much of our inventory is a bit scholarly or obscure. We don't have mass market paperbacks, or popular authors like James Patterson or Danielle Steele, unless the book would be signed.
