"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.

"Once I started this incomparable story, I couldn't put it down, and I cannot get it out of my mind—nor will I ever. The message of what can be accomplished by training through affection and joy will thrill all animal lovers." —Betty White A captivating true story of loyalty, friendship, and high adventure that spans several decades and three continents, Modoc is one of the most remarkable true stories ever told, perfect for fans of The Zookeeper's Wife or Water for Elephants. Raised together in a small German circus town, a boy and an elephant formed a bond that would last their entire lives, and would be tested time and again: through a near-fatal shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, an apprenticeship with the legendary Mahout elephant trainers in the Indian teak forests, and their eventual rise to circus stardom in 1940s New York City. As the African Sun-Times put it, Modoc is "heartwarming. . . probably the greatest love story ever told."

"The Memory of an Elephant" is an epic saga told by an aging African elephant as he makes a last, perilous journey to find the humans who rescued him as an orphan some fifty years ago. Interwoven with his narrative are the tumultuous lives of the family who raised and then lost him: a famed hunting guide and his wife, who runs an animal orphanage (a conflict that in time upends their marriage); their son and daughter; and the young Kikuyu who finds the orphaned elephant and becomes part of the Hathaway family. This timeless story is alternately heartwarming and heartbreaking, spanning east Africa, Great Britain and New York from 1962 to 2015.
