Five top books about elephants

One title on the Barnes & Noble Review's list of five top books about elephants:
Love, Life, and Elephants
by Dame Daphne Sheldrick

The first person ever to hand-rear an elephant successfully, Dame Daphne Sheldrick perfected a milk formula and husbandry approach that have since saved countless orphaned animals. This big-hearted memoir captures her special relationships -- with Kenya's wildlife; her husband, David, a pioneer of African environmental preservation; and with an elephant named Eleanor who became her trusted friend for more than forty years. A majestic tribute to a country and its residents of all shapes and sizes.
