71. The Elephant's Secret Sense by Caitlin O'Connell. Rather disjointed scientific memoir; O'Connell has worked on several studies into seismic communication, i.e. the way that elephants can "hear" each other (also other animals, vehicles, and possibly earthquakes) over long distances by reading vibrations through the fatty tissue and bones in their feet. Also interesting are some of the observations she makes about bull society; until fairly recently biologists thought bulls were mainly solitary, but it turns out that many of them travel together in loose groups. My problems with the book are mainly structural, in that there is almost no attempt to be chronological and many of the chapters had an unclear thesis (if they had one at all).
