Description: Elephant Trails is a compelling portrait of what the author terms "our elephant."
Brief description: Nigel Rothfels is a professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He is the author of Elephant Trails: A History of Animals and Cultures and the editor of Representing Animals.
Review Quotes: [Rothfels] captures the ache and cruelty of colonization and enslavement; it is, at times, a gruesome read but a sobering one. This book will appeal to those fascinated by the mythology and legacy of elephants, as well as animal lovers who fight for the liberation of all living creatures.
