Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gold Elephant is a true story about a man, a serious man, a ladies' man, a businessman, a real man's man--the man. Take a ride through the fast-paced streets of America. This legendary timepiece defines the true meaning of from nothing to something, taking place during the most volatile period in American History, a true rags-to-riches story about loyalty, respect, and hard work.Journey through the streets of the world's capital, Washington, DC, through the eyes of a man with wisdom, strength, vision, and determination, a natural-born leader. He reached the highest heights of the underworld and many political circles, a man that turned one hundred dollars into millions.There have been many articles, blogs, and documentaries trying to tell his story but can't come close to this, the true untold story of Michael "Fray" Salters. More than a legend, a man like no other whose morals and integrity would not allow him to break the rules, the ten laws of life. A man who gained respect of gangsters and formed personal friendships with an R&B Legend and a first-round number two NBA draft pick. He had friendships and business relationships with top politicians in the city, and not just those in Washington, DC, but also in Miami, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New York City, Buffalo (New York), California, Atlantic City, and Las Vegas casinos. There was only one and there will never be another. The Gold Elephant.

Book excerpt: "The phrase ’seeing the elephant’ symbolized for ’49 gold rushers the exotic, the mythical, the once-in-a-lifetime adventure, unequaled anywhere else but in the journey to the promised land of fortune: California. Most western myths . . . generally depict an exclusively male gold rush. Levy’s book debunks that myth. Here a variety of women travel, work, and write their way across the pages of western migrant history."-Choice "One of the best and most comprehensive accounts of gold rush life to date"ˆ–San Francisco Chronicle

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

Book excerpt: A timeless classic on the Asian Elephant. P D Stracey started his career as an elephant catcher but went on to become a stockade officer. His understanding of the animal, and its habitat, elephant training and management stands unparalleled to date. This book provides a delightful narrative of Stracey's experiences in capturing, noosing and doctoring of elephants and hence provides an astute analysis of the animal for conservationists today. His style of writing and depth of knowledge shine out to make this book a must for every naturalist's bookshelf. The elephant has, as Stracey explains, had a unique cultural association with the people of India for over 4000 years. This outstandingly loveable animal has inspired a rare combination of awe and affection. Man has always harnessed elephants to his needs, in times of both peace and war. Now, in an era of shrinking habitat, the elephant faces a bigger than ever threat of extinction. Stracey's wise words hold true at this crucial moment -- he said that it is up to man, the elephant's friend throughout the ages, to take decisive steps to ensure its preservation. The elephant has always served man for his benefits and the survival of this beautiful and majestic animal rests on our shoulders today.

Book excerpt: In this thrilling adventure by the author of Cayman Gold, a zoologist and his family must fight criminals and save animals in the African wilderness. In this second novel in the MacGregor Family Adventure Series, zoologist Dr. Jack MacGregor again strives to protect the earth’s dwindling resources and endangered animals, this time by pursuing an international cartel that is exploiting elephants in East Africa. The family’s three teenagers, Chris, Heather, and Ryan, become part of the action and help their father find a solution. They team up with native Africans and a seasoned American aviator to save the animals and bring the exploiters to justice. Mr. Trout’s expansive research, meticulous attention to detail, and the story's exotic locales make Elephant Tears: Mask of the Elephant an authentic and fascinating journey for young readers as they visit Serengeti, Amboseli, Masai Mara, and Mount Kilimanjaro. According to Leah Sparks of VOYA, Mr. Trout “respectfully depicts the native Africans and their tradition without glossing over their problems.” Readers learn environmental issues as they follow the adventures and keen insights of the teens in this fast-paced thriller, and they see how the MacGregor teenagers grow in discipline, self-reliance, and respect for other cultures. Praise for Elephant Tears ACCELERATED READER PROGRAM SELECTION SCHOLASTIC READING COUNTS! “An action-packed journey for young adults through the trials and triumphs of wildlife conservation in the African bush.” —Delia and Mark Owens, zoologists, authors of Cry of the Kalahari and The Eye of the Elephant

Book excerpt: "Once I started this incomparable story, I couldn't put it down, and I cannot get it out of my mind—nor will I ever. The message of what can be accomplished by training through affection and joy will thrill all animal lovers." —Betty White A captivating true story of loyalty, friendship, and high adventure that spans several decades and three continents, Modoc is one of the most remarkable true stories ever told, perfect for fans of The Zookeeper's Wife or Water for Elephants. Raised together in a small German circus town, a boy and an elephant formed a bond that would last their entire lives, and would be tested time and again: through a near-fatal shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, an apprenticeship with the legendary Mahout elephant trainers in the Indian teak forests, and their eventual rise to circus stardom in 1940s New York City. As the African Sun-Times put it, Modoc is "heartwarming. . . probably the greatest love story ever told."

Book excerpt: "The Memory of an Elephant" is an epic saga told by an aging African elephant as he makes a last, perilous journey to find the humans who rescued him as an orphan some fifty years ago. Interwoven with his narrative are the tumultuous lives of the family who raised and then lost him: a famed hunting guide and his wife, who runs an animal orphanage (a conflict that in time upends their marriage); their son and daughter; and the young Kikuyu who finds the orphaned elephant and becomes part of the Hathaway family. This timeless story is alternately heartwarming and heartbreaking, spanning east Africa, Great Britain and New York from 1962 to 2015.
