Over de Auteur
Jane Goodall, 1934 - Jane Goodall, a well-respected English zoologist, is famous for her fieldwork with chimpanzees in Africa. An early interest in African wild animals and the opportunity, at age 18, to stay on a friend's farm in Kenya, led her to Dr. Louis Leakey; then curator of the National toon meer Museum of Natural History in Nairobi. Almost immediately Leakey hired Goodall as his assistant secretary, and she was soon accompanying Leakey and his wife on their expeditions. Following Leakey's suggestion that a field study of some of the higher primates would be a major contribution to the understanding of animal behavior, she began studying the chimpanzees of the Gombe Stream Research Center in Tanganyika (now Tanzania) in 1960. Although she had no undergraduate degree, Goodall earned a Ph.D. from Cambridge University in 1965, based on her first five years of research at the Gombe Center. After more than 20 years of extensive study and direct contact with wild chimpanzees in their natural habitat, Goodall continues to research, teach, and write about primate behavior today. (Bowker Author Biography) Jane Goodall's research at Gombe, Tanzania, is entering its fifth decade. Her books include "In the Shadow of Man", "Through a Window: My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe", & "Africa in My Blood: An Autobiography in Letters", edited by Dale Peterson. She resides in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Jane Goodall is wereldberoemd geworden door haar onderzoek naar Chimpansees in het Gombe natuurreservaat in Tanzania. Dit boek is een autobiografie van een bijzondere vrouw, die zeer gedreven is in haar streven een toekomst mogelijk te maken voor de Chimpansees waarvan ze houdt. Het boek is helaas niet zo opwindend. Onderhoudend dat wel, maar er ontbreekt iets. Waarschijnlijk moet ik het eerdere boek lezen dat ze over de Chimpansees van Gombe heeft geschreven. Andere boeken voor apenliefhebbers die ik heb gelezen:
Dian Fossey: Gorilla's in de mist ***
Farley Mowat: Virunga ***½, het levensverhaal van Dian Fossey
