520    "From trunk to tail, these thirty-three essential 
       historical, scientific, and cultural writings on the 
       elephant range from folktales to current practices, 
       creating a greater understanding of this creature"--
       |cProvided by publisher. 
520    "Elephants are one of the planet's most recognizable 
       animals and yet are the least understood. The essential 
       writings in this book cover the three species of still-
       living elephants across time and space. Selected by Dale 
       Peterson, these contributions by African, Asian, European,
       and North American authors range from classical 
       Mediterranean descriptions and early Sanskrit mythology to
       timeless folktales, medieval Latin interpretations, 
       colonial hunters' tales, circus accounts, contemporary 
       fiction, and the reasoned insights and analyses to 
       scientists and nonscientists from the modern era. Together
       they provide a cultural and natural history of one of the 
       world's greatest natural wonders"--Page 4 of cover.
