The first book by wildlife photographer and writer Larry Laverty, Power and Majesty features extraordinary images and informative text that capture the life of African elephants. The book focuses on these majestic animals and features stunning photographs from the most remote corners of Africa, from the savannahs and deserts to the rivers and jungles. The text introduces various elephant habitats, explores the magical qualities of elephants, and underscores the immense challenges they face for survival in a world dominated by humans. The photographs and information showcased in this book will help increase our appreciation and understanding of the African elephant's significant place in the animal kingdom, and Larry Laverty will be donating all of his profits to this worthy cause. Their abilities to love, to remember, to function as families, and to survive under some of the harshest conditions will change the way we think about elephants, with the hope that this knowledge will encourage more people to help save those who remain in the wild.

Elephants today live on only 15% of the land they once roamed. With each passing day, another acre of nature is destroyed by human beings, replaced by agriculture, settlement and other man-made business. With each passing day, Asia’s remaining wild elephants are squeezed onto smaller pieces of land onto which they’re expected to survive.Wildlife photographer Larry Laverty has followed the plight of the elephants for several decades, capturing the magnificence of this animal on film, while at the same time raising awareness all over the world of the danger of extinction that elephants face. For this book, Larry spent months travelling across Asia following elephants and recording extraordinary moments on his camera. The result is an amazing book of some 180 photographs, presented in landscape format, of one of Earth’s greatest creatures. It’s through his work and books that Larry hopes to give the elephants of Asia the respect they deserve…”We are finally acknowledging a force of nature that’s been with us all along. Elephants are magnetic. But until now, we humans haven’t had the ability to see, to appreciate this fact.”

Land of the Buffalo is a captivating book about Yellowstone’s iconic buffalo that features over 200 stunning photographic images by the author. This immersive journey redefines our understanding of these magnificent creatures, revealing that what we've long called "herds" are, in fact, intricate and vital family units – networks of mothers, daughters, sisters, and their young, where familiarity truly equals survival in the face of Yellowstone's harsh realities. The book offers a poignant perspective on the daily struggles and historical context that define the Yellowstone buffalo's existence. From the relentless harassment by tourists and the constant threat of wolves to the brutal realities of winter and the devastating impact of "management" culls and treaty hunting, the author, a lifelong observer, unearths the hidden hardships endured by these animals. Through a blend of insightful narrative and breathtaking photography, with a special emphasis on their survival during the unforgiving winter months, this book challenges readers to consider the world through the buffalo's eyes. It's a powerful reminder of the near extinction of these majestic creatures and a call to remember why the American buffalo, a symbol of strength and resilience, was pushed to its most devastating test.
