About this title: 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.

"Scientific but easy to read discussion of natural history and behavior of wild chimpanzees. The first volume of her life's research. Fairly amazing similarities between human and chimp social interaction and behavior."
"beautiful account of her work and stories of the characters that she met in the chimps that she studied. full portraits that really make you care about what happens to each chimp and cry when one dies a sad death. i did find that i wished she would talk more about her own experiences. being with her mother out there in the gombe. being alone afterwards. she devoted so much of herself to her work. but it did make me long for a book that covered how she herself felt in the work and with her child there. might pick up a biography of her in the future."
"My daughter's hero, Jane Goodall's work is truly amazing. She writes so well and has such remarkable tales to tell. Not a fast read, but worth the time."
