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.
