辛西娅·莫斯研究肯尼亚安博塞利国家公园的大象已经超过27年了。她的长期研究揭示了我们现在对这些复杂而聪明的动物的了解。在这里，她记载了T家族成员的生活，由女族长特雷西亚，裂耳，撕裂耳，塔尼亚和无牙领导。随着一个新的后记赶上家庭和涵盖当前的保护问题，莫斯的故事将继续吸引动物爱好者。“一个人很快就会被这个”巴巴“的成年人所冲走。到了最后，人们甚至开始对人感到厌恶。一个人想诅咒人类文明，并大声喊道：“现在上帝为大象挺身而出！”《纽约》的克里斯托弗·莱曼·豪普特“莫斯对普通读者说话，既有魅力，又有科学权威。. . . [An]文笔优美、结构巧妙的叙述。“雷蒙德·索科洛夫，《华尔街日报》”“莫斯以一种对话的风格讲述了这个故事。. .当她带我参观公园时，我觉得自己就像一个特权游客，坐在她摇摇晃晃的路虎车里。“萨拉·布拉弗·赫迪，“《纽约书评》”“一首赞美一个物种的散文诗，我们可以从中学到一些道德和动物学的教训。“芝加哥论坛报”
Cynthia Moss has studied the elephants in Kenya's Amboseli National Park for over twenty-seven years. Her long-term research has revealed much of what we now know about these complex and intelligent animals. Here she chronicles the lives of the members of the T families led by matriarchs Teresia, Slit Ear, Torn Ear, Tania, and Tuskless. With a new afterword catching up on the families and covering current conservation issues, Moss's story will continue to fascinate animal lovers. "One is soon swept away by this 'Babar' for adults. By the end, one even begins to feel an aversion for people. One wants to curse human civilization and cry out, 'Now God stand up for the elephants!'" Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, "New York Times" "Moss speaks to the general reader, with charm as well as scientific authority. . . . [An] elegantly written and ingeniously structured account." Raymond Sokolov, "Wall Street Journal" "Moss tells the story in a style so conversational . . . that I felt like a privileged visitor riding beside her in her rickety Land-Rover as she showed me around the park." Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, "New York Times Book Review" "A prose-poem celebrating a species from which we could learn some moral as well as zoological lessons." "Chicago Tribune""
