Download or read book Elephants written by Ellen Greene Stewart and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-03-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elephants are a keystone species and have been a part of the magic of the thickly forested land of South Africa for millennia. This book focuses on the history and work of Knysna Elephant Park, a leading South African elephant research facility that has been home to more than 40 elephants in 25 years. Unfortunately, all the mystique of the Knysna elephant has been reduced to a single elephant left alive. Exploring a wide range of topics, this book covers the impact of elephants' interactions with tourists, how they recover from trauma and even their relevance in human healthcare. Renowned elephant researchers explain the majesty of the elephant brain, which has the largest temporal lobe devoted to communication, language, spatial memory and cognition. To this effect, the book emphasizes the threat of poaching to these gentle giants, which has almost forced them to extinction. Perhaps if humans pay attention to how elephants symbolize our relationship with nature, we can learn important lessons about humanity itself.

Download or read book The Last Elephants written by and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amazing photographs of elephants accompany narratives from researchers, scientists, and conservationists celebrating elephants and calling for their preservation African savanna elephants--among the most magnificent and beloved of our fellow mammals--are an extraordinary, social, and intelligent species. The Last Elephants, an homage to these animals and a clarion call for their preservation, is based upon a shocking finding: savanna elephant populations across Africa are being decimated, with two to three murdered every hour for their ivory. Without action, these elephants soon will vanish from our world. They are a species in imminent danger of extinction, and it is up to us to save them. Featuring more than 250 full-color photos of the breathtaking animals by some of the world's top wildlife photographers, The Last Elephants was inspired by the devastating results of the continent-wide Great Elephant Census of 2016, undertaken by Elephants without Borders in tandem with the world's most prominent conservation groups. The book joins together the voices and vision of scientists, lawmakers, rangers, conservationists, and on-the-ground researchers to speak out against elephant killings, to close loopholes in international law that allow the ivory trade to continue, and to pay tribute to the thousands who work to protect the animals, including African communities who have elected to preserve and protect their elephant neighbors. Offering both profiles of preservation plans that work and hope for elephants' future, this is a must-read for everyone concerned for the future of one of Earth's most captivating species.

Download or read book The Elephant s Rope and the Untethered Spirit written by Lynne Picard and published by Author's Choice Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will move even the hardened skeptic. It confirms that supressed anger and stress can impact health in subtle, yet ultimately severe ways, and then goes on to demonstrate that real miracles happen when body, mind and spirit are integrated through the use of both conventional and unconventional healing methods. Lynne Picard's story is that of a courageous woman who learns how to strike an effective balance between traditional treatment and natural healing. What makes this book unique is that she is not biased toward either-quite the contrary. She understands that sometimes both are necessary in order to acheive true holistic healing. During her battle with cancer there were several periods of remission followed by recurrences. Conventional treatments-surgery and chemotherapy-bought Lynne the time she need to discover true healing. She followed alternate paths not always understanding their purpose ath the outset. Some of these paths led to radical treatments whose results she could hardly believe, even though her own body was evidence. The Elephant's Rope and the Untethered Spirit is a book that offers real hope and real guidance for all who wish to heal themselves of illness, to gain and maintain good health and to achieve an integration of body, mind and spirit.
