Jane Goodall: 40 Years at Gombe
by: Lindsey, Jennifer

Jane Goodall is the most famous primatologist, possibly the most famous field biologist, of the 20th century. Her chimpanzee research did more to increase human knowledge of the lives of our closest relatives than that of any other scientist. It's in large part due to her example that primatology is the closest thing to a female-dominated science. But in 1986 Goodall gave up fieldwork for a higher, more pressing calling: rescuing chimpanzees from inhumane conditions in captivity and preserving the species from extinction. Jane Goodall: 40 Years at Gombe is a pictorial tribute to her life, her studies of the chimpanzees, and her unflagging efforts to motivate human beings on their behalf. Filled with photographs from the Institute's archives-many never-before published-along with the work of some of the world's top photographers, this beautifully illustrated volume traces the story of Dr. Goodall's work from its singular beginning to the Institute's present-day international activities. It is sure to appeal to Dr. Goodall's millions of admirers the world over, and to serve as a source of inspiration to many more. Color photos. 128 pgs.
