The book is an intellectual and cultural history of the elephant that uses a broad range of published sources along with traditional and less usual archives"--|cProvided by publisher. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Captive elephants|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh2009008907|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Elephants|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85042531|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Captive elephants.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1749326 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Elephants.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/908011 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aRothfels, Nigel|tElephant Trails |dBaltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press,c2021 |z9781421442594 830 0 Animals, history, culture.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n2001001454 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2968590|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
