Reviews
"Sometimes Shana Alexander invites us to rock along with her, vicariously yet elegantly, in a jeweled howdah. At other times we're mahouts along with her, urging the beasts forward on their mighty feet. "Such a massive subject--from the hidden secrets of the American circus to preserving the species--deserves a huge writer, and both are well met in The Astonishing Elephant." ---MAYA ANGELOU "Shana Alexander can take almost any subject and make it wondrous and fascinating. When she picks a subject that is already both of those things, she acts as an incredible magnifying glass for all of us who follow her into yet another field of knowledge. She has done her art and craft proud by taming the legendry of this greatest of all land animals. Utterly fascinating. She handles 'awesome' so easily and so well." ---ROGER CARAS "This book tells you everything you'll ever want to know about every kind of elephant in the world." ---PETER BEARD
