520    Elephant Trails is a compelling portrait of what the 
       author terms "our elephant." 
520    "The author traces a group of ideas about elephants in the
       West-that they are wise, deeply emotional, have a special 
       understanding of death, have great memories, and are 
       afraid of mice-to paint a general picture of what he calls
       "our elephant," the idea of the elephant that has been 
       part of our thinking for millennia. 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
