Two recent issues of Scientific American highlighted a number of Yale University Press science books in a competitive field of publications. Both G. A. Bradshaw’s Elephants on the Edge and John Wargo’s Green Intelligence were singled out as notable non-fiction selections in the magazine’s December round-up. This month, Saleem H. Ali’s Treasures of the Earth and Peter Forbes’s Dazzled and Deceivedgot the nod.

As a special celebratory treat, we’ve put together a sampling of the beautiful photographs by Cyril Christo and Marie Wilkinson featured in Bradshaw’s book. You can find them in this “Elephants on the Edge” photo gallery. Enjoy!
