Book Reviews of Chimpanzees I Love: Saving Their World And Ours (Byron Preiss Book)
Book Review: HOPE FOR FUTURE
Summary: 4 Stars
I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO HAS A BS IN BIOLOGY AND IS A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER. SHE HAS BEEN A FAN OF GOODAL'S FOR YEARS. IT WOULD BE UNFORTUNATE IF PEOPLE IGNORE GOODAl's recommendations FOR our future BECAUSE OF HER CONNECTION WITH CHIMPS.
Summary of Chimpanzees I Love: Saving Their World And Ours (Byron Preiss Book)
As a child, Jane Goodall dreamed of living with the wild animals of Africa. As a young woman, she amazed the world with her groundbreaking discoveries about chimpanzees, which she documented in her acclaimed National Geographic television specials. Ever since, Dr. Goodall has campaigned unceasingly for the protection of the chimpanzee ? now an endangered species. This moving, personal account will inspire readers of all ages to join in her vital work.Jane Goodall might be a household name for most grownups, thanks to her pioneering work with chimpanzees and more recent efforts at habitat preservation. But many kids don't know the Goodall story and will love this chance to hit the ground in Tanzania and learn about the remarkable scientist and her beloved chimp friends. With dozens of vintage photographs, Goodall recounts her early research in Gombe National Park, including a recap of her childhood and how she came to know Louis Leakey and first enter the bush. With clear and careful prose, Goodall explains her findings about chimp communities and communication, the role of hierarchies, and what sort of threats chimpanzees face today. Best of all, Goodall's account always keeps curious young readers in mind, even relating some of her mistakes, such as when she became too close to her subjects and interfered with her own research.
Young protoscientists will appreciate Goodall's frank descriptions, from kerosene-can-assisted dominance displays to her discovery that chimps engage in hunting and warlike behaviors, and hopefully, such detail will inspire further interest in the future of chimpanzees and other threatened species. Proceeds from the book will go to Roots & Shoots, a "grassroots environmental and humanitarian education program for young people" under the Jane Goodall Institute. Because "hundreds of roots and shoots--young people like you--around the globe can break through and make the world a better place for all living things." (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
