Earth to Sky by Michael Nichols

Earth to Sky by Michael Nichols

Elephants are among the earths most sentient beings. They remember, they experience grief and joy, fear and love. This title tells their story through poignant images that bring us directly into their habitats lush forests and open savannas, or stark landscapes ravaged by human intervention to observe the animals daily engagements and activities.

For more than 20 years, National Geographic lensman Michael "Nick" Nichols has documented life in the wilds of Africa, traversing the continent with his longtime collaborator, biologist JMichael Fay. [...] Nichols captures scenes ranging from warm interactions between herds to deathly confrontations netween animals and poachers to the heroic efforts of humans who foster orphan elephants. It's a heart-tugging collection, as visually dramatic as it is disturbing. Back-of-book charts on poaching stats and how-to-help listings round out the message.--Jack Crager"American Photo" (09/01/2013)
