I can't imagine a more vivid or unexpectedly moving introduction to chimpanzees in the wild than Jane Goodall's
One of history's most impressive field studies; an instant animal classic
Apart from its enormous scientific value, IN THE SHADOW OF MAN is absolutely fascinating to read as a story of discovery...The whole book is enthralling
