An elegant photographic book that captures the beauty of the Asian elephant. Elephants today live on only 15% of the land they once roamed. With each passing day, another acre of nature is destroyed by human beings, replaced by agriculture, settlement and other man-made business. With each passing day, Asia's remaining wild elephants are squeezed onto smaller pieces of land onto which they're expected to survive. Wildlife photographer Larry Laverty has followed the plight of the elephants for several decades, capturing the magnificence of this animal on film, while at the same time raising awareness all over the world of the danger of extinction that elephants face. For this book, Larry spent months travelling across Asia following elephants and recording extraordinary moments on his camera. The result is an amazing book of some 180 photographs, presented in landscape format, of one of Earth's greatest creatures. It's through his work and books that Larry hopes to give the elephants of Asia the respect they deserve We are finally acknowledging a force of nature that's been with us all along. Elephants are magnetic. But until now, we humans haven't had the ability to see, to appreciate this fact. AUTHOR: Larry Laverty is a wildlife photographer and animal conservationist.
