Having made India his home, he collaborates on research projects in conservation biology, and teaches at Pondicherry University. ‘Giant Hearts: Travels in the World of Elephants’ is an anthology that takes the reader into the world of these gentle giants. A common love, admiration and respect for elephants has brought together a plethora of eminent people from all walks of life to put together a plea for the need for living in harmony with a species that has more than a few lessons to teach the human race. Dr.Puyravaud and Priya Davidar’s efforts has resulted in a book that celebrates the largest land mammal on earth.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
