About this title

Synopsis:

The African elephant is one of the most majestic creatures on Earth, yet is faces an uncertain future. Walking Thunder is a tribute to the remarkable beauty of these endangered animals. Striking duotone images by photographers Cyril Christo and Marie Wilkinson capture not only the awesome strength and size of the African elephant, but also its gentleness and human-like emotions. Accompanying the photographs are quotations and stories from folklore, tribal members and writers, presenting both Western and African perspectives.

About the Author:

Cyril Christo and Marie Wilkinson are photographers who document the relationship between indigenous peoples and the natural world. Their book Lost Africa: The Eyes of Origin was published in 2004. Dr Dame Daphne Sheldrick is founder of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya, and the recipient of many awards for her wildlife conservation work.
