Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] tour de force examination of the history of ivory . . . and the demise of the elephant and human decency in the process of this unholy quest.” —The Huffington Post Praised for the nuance and sensitivity with which it approaches one of the most fraught conservation issues we face today, John Frederick Walker’s Ivory’s Ghosts tells the astonishing story of the power of ivory through the ages, and its impact on elephants. Long before gold and gemstones held allure, ivory came to be prized in every culture of the world—from ancient Egypt to nineteenth-century America to modern Japan—for its beauty, rarity, and ability to be finely carved. But the beauty came at an unfathomable cost. Walker lays bare the ivory trade’s cruel connection with the slave trade and the increasing slaughter of elephants in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By the 1980s, elephant poaching reached levels that threatened the last great herds of the African continent, and led to a worldwide ban on the ancient international trade in tusks. But the ban has failed to stop poaching—or the emotional debate over what to do with the legitimate and growing stockpiles of ivory recovered from elephants that die of natural causes. “Ivory’s Ghost is essential reading for anyone concerned with conservation and with the tenuous future of one of the most magnificent creatures our earth has ever seen.” —George B. Schaller, author of A Naturalist and Other Beast

This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Monograph on Ivory Carving in the North-Western Provinces and Oudh We may congratulate ourselves, at any rate, that so far our provinces in this direction have escaped the corrupting in uence Of European models, and in this we are more fortunate than the Punjab, where they have begun to turn out combs and paper-knives in Euro pean patterns with Roman letters in quite the approved manner Of Bellagio or Birmingham and it is a melancholy prospect to think that in the fulness of time we may yet find sold on railway platforms paper knives with the inscription A souvenir Of Lucknow.' Mr. Cockburn tells me that Benares, Lucknow, Bareilly, Morad abad and Saharanpur have considerable industries in bone working, more particularly camel-bones, and that they are always ready to work rather in ivory, when they can get or afford it, because it is easier to work and does not require bleaching.
