"Anthony has made a difference in the lives of many magnificent animals who otherwise would have been lost to the world. When you're feeling down and out and defeated and ready to give up, read this inspiring book and share it widely with others." --Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals "In my thirty-five years of studying man/animal communication I have met only a few individuals who have the ability to enter into the metaphysical realm of the exotic animal. Lawrence Anthony has been there and back. His wonderfully written book The Elephant Whisperer is a true reflection of his ability to be one of the pachyderms." --Ralph Helfer, author of Modoc "A lovingly written tale of close encounters, some beautiful and some frightening, with humans and nonhumans alike. Anthony's story of his trials and tribulations in preserving a herd of African elephants is a parable for the continent." --Irene M. Pepperberg, author of Alex & Me "An engaging and vividly personal account, The Elephant Whisperer invites you in, as confidant and confederate, from the first page and holds you rapt to the very last. A compelling reminder of the power and mysteries of the natural world, Thula Thula's elephants are lucky to have a friend like Lawrence Anthony." --Amelia Thomas, author of The Zoo on the Road to Nablus " The Elephant Whisperer is every bit as much a page-turner as a novel. ... Anyone who remembers Born Free , a personal story of tamed East African lions, will hope this book, too, is destined for the screen." -- San Francisco Book Review, "An inspiring, multifaceted account, Anthony's book offers fascinating insights into the lives of wild elephants in the broader context of Zulu culture in post-Apartheid South Africa." - Publishers Weekly "Both heartwarming and heartening. . . .
