Jane Goodall is an anthropologist and UN Messenger of Peace, widely known for her studies of chimpanzees, for conservation, and for animal welfare. Michael Neugebauer is the publisher of minedition books. In 1988 he visited the Jane Goodall research center at Gombe National Park for the first time, and for more than a decade after, he spent almost every year in Africa accompanying Jane through the forest, visiting sanctuaries, and working with her on other projects.
"Goodall introduces and reflects on the chimpanzees of the Gombe
National Park that she has known and studied... Absorbing
photographs from publisher Neugebauer provide intimate glimpses of
baby chimps playing with family members, as well as of the other
animals that populate the Gombe. A lovely look at Goodall's service
to the welfare of the great apes." -- Publishers Weekly
"This charmingly designed, delightful book will inspire a new
generation to look for the similarities that unite us, whether
among humans or between people and other species." -- Dorcas Hans,
School Library Journal starred review
"Neugebauer's color photographs... should please chimp lovers with
close-ups and action shots, and this title will put the esteemed
Dr. Goodall on the radar of children just developing a serious
interest in primates." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's
Books
