The Last Giants: The Rise and Fall of the African Elephant by Levison Wood

3.0

An enjoyable overview of the biology, history, and human interaction with elephants as well as conservation efforts. Some of the more biological parts were a bit dense, but I did enjoy the overviews of elephant behavior and psychology. The last half was very sad, with lots of info about ivory trade and poaching, but the book ended on a more uplifting note, with conservation success stories.
