This review is from: Elephants (Worldlife Library) (Paperback)

I have been so interested in elephants primarily due to Ms.Poole. I have read 'Coming of age with the elephants' and true to the nature of that book, this one is also amazing. The pictures really give a unique view of Amboseli and I love her passion towards these giants

This woman has spent decades under the African sun doing nothing but watching and examining elephant behavior. Anyone who needs to know anything about them only needs to pick up one of her books. This book is great for basic knowledge about elephants but if you want a more in-depth book I recommend Joyce's "Coming of Age With Elephants".
