Description

In Elephant House, photographer Dick Blau and historian Nigel Rothfels offer a thought-provoking take a look at of the Oregon Zoo’s Asian Elephant Building and the day by day routines of its residents—human and pachyderm alike. Without an agenda beyond a desire to build a deeper figuring out of this enigmatic environment, Elephant House is the results of the authors’ unique creative collaboration and explores the relationships between captive elephants and their human caregivers.

Blau’s evocative photographs are complex and challenging, even as Rothfels’s text offers a scholarly and personal response to the questions that surround elephants and captivity. Elephant House does no longer take sides within the debate over zoos but focuses as a substitute at the bonds of attentiveness between the animals and their keepers. Accompanied by a foreword from retired elephant keeper Mike Keele, Elephant House is a frank, fascinating have a look at the evolving world of elephant husbandry.
