With unforgettable characters and exotic wildlife, The Elephant Whisperer is an enthralling book that will appeal to animal lovers and adventurous souls everywhere.When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of 'rogue' elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival - dangerous and unpredictable, they would be killed if Anthony wouldn't take them in. As Anthony risked his life to create a bond with the troubled elephants and persuade them to stay on his reserve, he came to realize what a special family they were, from the wise matriarch Nana, who guided the herd, to her warrior sister Frankie, always ready to see off any threat, and their children who fought so hard to survive.

Lawrence Anthony's South African game reserve is home to many animals he has saved, from a remarkable herd of elephants to a badly behaved bushbaby called George. Described as 'the Indiana Jones of conservation', when one of his rhinos was brutally slaughtered for her horn, he didn't hesitate to lead an armed response against the poachers. Then he learned that there were only a handful of northern white rhinos left in the wild, living in an area of the Congo controlled by the infamous Lord's Resistance Army and soon to be hunted into extinction. Lawrence knew he had to take action. What followed was an extraordinary adventure, as he headed into the jungle to negotiate with the rebels, while battling to save his own animals from terrible drought and to save the eyesight of his beloved elephant matriarch Nana. The Last Rhinos is peopled with unforgettable characters, both human and animal, and is a sometimes funny, sometimes moving, always exciting read. 'Anthony was a charismatic figure whose life combined Gerald Durrell-esque animal antics with Wilbur Smith bush heroics . . . a rattling read with an urgent message' BBC Wildlife Magazine

By this time, I had been pulled over more than 25x times in my first 6 years of driving. Literally once every three months on average. About 20% resulted in tickets. Half of those questionable.. My mom had just revealed to me that she had never been pulled over..ever..When I realized there are many adults with the same or closely similar realities to hers, I was beyond confused. I carried the title of a Professional driver, and can proudly parallel park a bus. Yet it was regular for me. What am I missing? I reminisced of all the occasions. It all started with the 95' Thunderbird. That smooth dude with the coupe became my M/O. Growing up, learning shit the hard way was part of the process. They say experience is the best teacher. I couldn't agree more. I experienced what nobody told me. let's be honest, life is different for a young black man.. especially in a coupe! I like to live above limitations and find a way when there are none. I don't subscribe to the victim mentality, I wouldn't have gotten thus far if I had. As creative as I like to believe I am, I can't make this up. what's an Automatic Ticket? Hop in the coupe, take a trip down memory lane with me.
