This beautifully designed and photographed book will open your eyes to the magnificence and fragile destiny of the elephants of Sri Lanka. See them: -- Involved in human activities: "For ten nights, just at dusk, drummers, horn blowers, dancers, fire walkers and whip crackers accompany elaborately adorned elephants in procession from the temple". -- In the wild: "Peering into the dense scrub, we could just make out their grey bulk. Within seconds, and in absolute silence, they vanished". "An expansive and exquisitely produced large-format book which places the rich mythology of the Sri Lankan elephant in the context of a long and fascinating relationship with human societies which have, through the centuries, used the elephant for war, sport and work. The book leaves no aspect of elephant life and lore unexplored and leaves one with a deep respect for these giant beasts and the authors who have represented them in such an attractive and interesting way". -- Robert Hefner, The Canberra Times
