Details

Synopsis The animal behaviorist Jane Goodall recounts her six-month-long experience studying chimpanzee populations in the forests of the Gombe National Park in Tanzania when she was only 26 years old and relatively new to the field--and her succeeding 10 years following up her initial work with chimps she had come to know as friends. This seminal book--her first--marked the beginning of popular interest in animals in the wild, and has led to increased respect for the idea of conserving endangered species. Goodall's funny, heartwarming, and closely observed descriptions of chimp behavior have raised the standard for nature writing since this book's publication in 1971.
