<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In a remote Zambian valley where elephants gracefully wandered into camp to eat fruit from the trees, the authors of the bestselling Cry of the Kalahari discovered a new wilderness Eden. But peace was shortlived when they were drawn into a struggle that threatened their lives. Photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Exciting. . . part adventure story, part wildlife tale"--<i>The Boston Globe</i></b> <p/> Intelligent, majestic, and loyal, with lifespans matching our own, elephants are among the greatest of the wonders gracing the African wilds. Yet, in the 1970s and 1980s, about a thousand of these captivating creatures were slaughtered in Zambia each year, killed for their valuable ivory tusks. When biologists Mark and Delia Owens, residing in Africa to study lions, found themselves in the middle of a poaching fray, they took the only side they morally could: that of the elephants. <p/><i>The Eye of the Elephant</i> recounts the Owens' struggle to save these innocent animals from decimation, a journey not only to supply the natives with ways of supporting their villages, but also to cultivate support around the globe for the protection of elephants. Filled with daring exploits among disgruntled hunters, arduous labor on the African plains, and vivid depictions of various wildlife, this remarkable tale is at once an adventure story, a travelogue, a preservationist call to action, and a fascinating examination of both human and animal nature.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>MARK AND DELIA OWENS are the authors of <i>Cry of the Kalahari</i>, an international bestseller and winner of the John Burroughs Medal, <i>The Eye of the Elephant</i>, and <i>Secrets of the Savanna</i>.
