Vstúpte do fascinujúceho sveta slonov a objavte ich správanie, život a vplyv ľudí. Kniha vás zavedie do sveta afrických a ázijských slonov prostredníctvom nádherných farebných fotografií a rekonštrukcií ich vyhynutých predkov.

Naučíte sa, ako rozlíšiť afrického slona od ázijského, aká je inteligencia slonov, aká starostlivá je slonica a čo robí slon, aby sa ochladil. Zistíte, akú úlohu zohrávajú slony v prírode, prečo chodia po špičkách, koľko zje dospelý slon za deň, aká dlhá je jeho kel, a prečo mávajú ušami. Kniha sa zaoberá aj uctením slonov ľuďmi a ich ohrozenou budúcnosťou. Obsahuje témy ako rodokmeň slona, mamuty a mastodonty, slonie kostry, problémy s chladením, súboje titanov, a obchod so sloními výrobkami.
