"The phrase ’seeing the elephant’ symbolized for ’49 gold rushers the exotic, the mythical, the once-in-a-lifetime adventure, unequaled anywhere else but in the journey to the promised land of fortune: California. Most western myths . . . generally depict an exclusively male gold rush. Levy’s book debunks that myth. Here a variety of women travel, work, and write their way across the pages of western migrant history."-Choice "One of the best and most comprehensive accounts of gold rush life to date"ˆ–San Francisco Chronicle

A timeless classic on the Asian Elephant. P D Stracey started his career as an elephant catcher but went on to become a stockade officer. His understanding of the animal, and its habitat, elephant training and management stands unparalleled to date. This book provides a delightful narrative of Stracey's experiences in capturing, noosing and doctoring of elephants and hence provides an astute analysis of the animal for conservationists today. His style of writing and depth of knowledge shine out to make this book a must for every naturalist's bookshelf. The elephant has, as Stracey explains, had a unique cultural association with the people of India for over 4000 years. This outstandingly loveable animal has inspired a rare combination of awe and affection. Man has always harnessed elephants to his needs, in times of both peace and war. Now, in an era of shrinking habitat, the elephant faces a bigger than ever threat of extinction. Stracey's wise words hold true at this crucial moment -- he said that it is up to man, the elephant's friend throughout the ages, to take decisive steps to ensure its preservation. The elephant has always served man for his benefits and the survival of this beautiful and majestic animal rests on our shoulders today.

For thousands of years, the majestic elephant has roamed the African continent, as beloved by man as it has been preyed upon. But centuries of exploitation and ivory hunting have taken their toll: now, as wars and poachers continue to ravage its habitat, as disease and political strife deflect attention from its plight, the African elephant faces imminent extinction. What will become of these magnificent beasts? As the elephant's future looms ever darker, Martin Meredith's concise and richly illustrated biography traces the elephant's history from the first ivory expeditions of the Egyptian pharaohs 2500 years ago to today, exploring along the way the indelible imprint the African elephant has made in art, literature, culture, and society. He shares recent extraordinary discoveries about the elephant's sophisticated family and community structure and reveals the remarkable ways in which elephants show compassion and loyalty to each other. Elegant, illuminating, and urgent, Elephant Destiny offers a beautiful and important tribute to one of earth's most magisterial creatures at the very moment it threatens to vanish from being.

The Elephant of My Heart is the story that emerged as Jessica Clements took her first inner journey on the Personal Totem Pole Process originated by Stephen Gallegos. Jessicas life had not been easy, for at nine years old, she had suffered a brain haemorrhage. Yet this was just where her new guide, her elephant, took her to, though in the gentlest and softest of ways. It was here that her elephant, and numerous other animals, taught her that the scars that criss-cross her head can be seen in a different way, for now they are stitched with a black panthers whisker and held by a dragonfly! I read this book in an evening and couldnt put it down as I was taken on a magical journey by the Elephant at Jessicas Heart. Stephen Wish, Polar Bear Community If you like animals and meditate then I highly recommend this book! Jayne Thorpe
