From Hollywood animal behavioristand author of Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived, Ralph Helfer, comes a surprising behind-the-scenes account of his years working as a trainer to the (four-legged) stars.

In The Beauty of the Beasts, Helfer chronicles the many television programs and films in which his animals appeared, including Charlie's Angels and The Ten Commandments, and the stars he and his animals worked with such as Elvis Presley, Clint Eastwood, Marilyn Monroe, Sonny and Cher, and more.

Complete with a 16-page insert of photos from Helfer, The Beauty of the Beasts is a book about the important role animals play in our lives, and how much less human we would be without them.
