This joyous celebration of the elephant includes photographs from the wildest outreaches of Botswana to the teeming cities of India. Steve Bloom’s quest is a forceful reminder that these much-persecuted animals, once found in nearly fifty countries, are similar to people in many ways: they have family structures, show loyalty and allegiance and show strongly individual personalities.

Steve Bloom's breathtaking photographs include aerial shots, the drama of the fight between angry males, tender interaction between mother and calves, the rich decorations of the elephants of India, and extraordinary underwater images. This is the ultimate book on the elephant and an intimate photographic journey into the animal kingdom.
