(2) 4-6 Scientists in the Field series. Photographs by Caitlin O'Connell & Timothy Rodwell. Scientist O'Connell's contributions to our understanding of elephant communication propel this account. O'Connell and Jackson describe the findings in a way that lets readers witness the unfolding of a research program, as hypotheses lead to new insights that beget even more questions. The many photographs, predominantly from Namibian field sites, capture the majestic elder elephants, their always-appealing offspring, and dusty, rugged landscapes. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
