Cyril Christo and Marie Wilkinson's 90 duotone photographs capture not just the size and strength of these magnificent creatures but also their habitat, behavior and surprisingly gentle qualities. Well-chosen quotes, myths, and stories from folklore, explorers, and tribal members accompany the exquisite images, presenting the elephant from both Western and African perspectives. A portion of the proceeds from sales are donated to the Tusk Trust and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.  (BST143, $60.00)
