| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The Ivory King: A Popular History of the Elephant and Its Allies" by Charles Frederick Holder is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the fascinating history, natural biology, and socio-economic significance of elephants, detailing their relationships with humans throughout time and across cultures. It examines not only the current status of elephants but also provides insights into their ancestors, such as the mammoth and mastodon, emphasizing the urgent need for conservation efforts. The opening of the book sets the stage by presenting the elephant as the "true king of beasts," highlighting its impressive history and the challenges it faces due to habitat loss and poaching. Holder discusses the past prominence of elephants in various civilizations, using poignant examples to illustrate their role in warfare and industry. He draws attention to the alarming rate at which elephants are being hunted for ivory, urging readers to consider the consequences of their impending extinction. The preface establishes a framework for the subsequent chapters, which promise a detailed exploration of elephants' natural history, intelligence, and interactions with humans and the environments they inhabit.
