Biologist and conservationist Joyce Poole has spent over half her life studying and protecting these remarkable animals. Drawing on her ground-breaking studies of African elephant behaviour, as well as the work of other renowned elephant watchers, she paints a detailed picture of both African and Asian elephants.

Outstanding photography complements her descriptions of their complex society, their strong sense of family, their feeding and breeding habits and their chances of survival in the face of the outlawed ivory trade and insatiable human demands for land.
