Book Reviews of Elephant Days and Nights: Ten Years with the Indian Elephant (Oxford India Paperbacks)

Book Review: Elephantine Fun!!
Summary: 5 Stars

True to its title, this book describes the experiences of well known elephant biologist and conservationalist Raman Sukumar's doctoral project. Packed with great anecdotal and biological information about the normal life of asian elephants, it makes great reading for any reader. It will delight the nature lover, as Raman relives ten long years of trailing jumbos in the verdant forests of south india.

Particularly interesting is the way raman fights stubborn gadgets, shoestring budgets, bureaucracy, and sometimes elephants themselves to compile what became one of the comprehensive projects on elephant demographics, habit-habitat, conflicts with people and poachers.

Must read for young people and biologists.
