"What are endangered species," asked Biju the baby elephant, "will we like them?" "Well, some, for sure," answered the zoo director, "because you are one. In many parts of the world, elephants are no longer safe in their jungle homes. So it's important for people who love animals to look after them." Biju, visiting his friend Daniel in Vienna, stays at the brand new zoo for endangered species, close to Dan's home. As they explore Vienna, adventures are sure to happen.

Durante um safari no Botswana, um rapazinho chamado Daniel fez um novo amigo: Biju, um elefante bebé. Os dois vivem juntos várias aventuras, encontram outros animais da selva - uns bonzinhos e outros perigosos - e aprendem muito não só um sobre o outro, mas também o que significa amizade, família. As histórias divertidas foram traduzidas por Ana Isabel Franco de Sousa Douglas e ilustradas com desenhos a cores pela artista Ulli Modro. Foram escritas com muito humor e numa linguagem adaptada às crianças, não têm violência e mostram como respeitar as diferenças entre os diversos seres. Também contêm exemplos de diversas qualidades humanas importantes, como a simpatia, a generosidade e a lealdade.

Biju, die onder een grote boom lekker tegen zijn moeder aanlag, was ook blij, want hij had een aardig jongetje leren kennen, die hem een hele banaan had gegeven, terwijl hij alleen maar om één hapje had gevraagd!

Peripheral Concerns examines the influence of one "core" region of the ancient Near Eastern world-Egypt-on urban development in the southern Levant in the Early and Middle Bronze Ages, with emphasis on the relative stability and sustainability of this development in each era.
