Face to Face with Elephants giá ưu đãi

You’re in the Land Rover, observing elephants from a safe, respectful distance. It’s a hot, hot day in the African bush, and the windows are down. But what’s this? Suddenly, you’ve got company! An elephant trunk is nosing around in your luggage for some water. Nothing new to Beverly and Dereck Joubert, the wildlife writers and filmmakers who get up close and personal with elephants of all sizes, experience their complex social structure, and witness first-hand their deepest emotions. Through Beverly’s stunning photographs and Dereck’s engaging narration, readers can follow the plight of a trapped baby elephant, discover the compassion of these gentle giants, and learn of the threats they face. The Jouberts take readers face to face with the elephants as they come under attack from lions…and from mankind. Learn how to help protect these animals and prevent shrinking herds being driven into ever smaller parcels of land.

“The book from the “Face to Face” series by National Geographic combines first hand information from field investigations with stunning photography to introduce to the reader elephants, the gentle giants of the animal kingdom. Beverly and Dereck Joubert have spent twenty-five years in Africa studying and photographing wild creatures. This talented team has previously combined their talents in articles, films, and books. Among their awards are four Emmys and a Peabody. In Face to Face with Elephants, readers are presented with heartwarming stories, such as the rescue of a baby stuck in the mud by the whole herd of elephants. They will also feel a rush of excitement as an angry adult female elephant charges the author’s jeep. The book contains sections explaining how readers can help protect elephants and ways they can learn more. A map shows where elephants once lived and where they are found today, clearly revealing how their home range is rapidly shrinking. “Facts at a Glance” provides specific detailed information, and there is a glossary and an index.”
