From the rear cover
"Giraffes are alluring animals about whom we previously knew surprisingly little. Filled with scientific facts and wonderful stories, Giraffe Reflections reveals many valuable lessons about who these skyscraping beings are. I highly recommend this well-written and beautifully illustrated book to anyone interested in the wondrous animals with whom we share our precious planet."
--Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals and editor of Ignoring Nature No More: The Case for Compassionate Conservation
"With that tall neck, striking pelage, gentle face, and graceful gait, surely no land animal is more wondrous and unlikely than the giraffe. In these exquisite pages Dale Peterson and Karl Ammann have captured this remarkable creature as none before. Thanks to these lyrical words and soulful photos, you'll never forget how blessed we are to have these prehistoric-looking animals on our planet--nor forgive the loss we'd endure should we allow them to vanish."
--Sy Montgomery, author of Walking with the Great Apes and Spell of the Tiger
"Karl Ammann's photographs in this book are stunning! They vary from mood sequences that fill the reader with awe to shots of male giraffes fighting in a style that has never before been documented."
--Anne Innis Dagg, author of Giraffe: Biology, Behaviour and Conservation
"A masterpiece about one of the world's most fascinating but least understood animals, Giraffe Reflections is utterly compelling--a page-turner with glorious photographs. A reader cannot ask for more."
--Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of A Million Years with You and The Hidden Life of Dogs
