Book Reviews of In the Shadow of Man
Book Review: Loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
I first heard of the book from my psych.textbook , and since I am very interested in human and animal behavior, I bought the book right away. I loved it from the first page and was very sad when I finished it. I felt like I am leaving the Gombe stream and the chimpanzees. I didn't wait long to buy the Through the window and other Jane Goodall's books. The way she writes is amazing, easy to read and keeps the reader unable to not fall in love with these wonderfull creatures. The book is an amazing report of chimpanzee behavior, their life and every aspect of their life. If you are only little bit interested in chimpanzees, this book will make you love them.Book Review: Super-de-duper!
Summary: 5 Stars
Like another reviewer, I'm an anthropology student and I had to read this book for a class I'm taking. Never has a book, meant for education, made me both laugh and cry out loud. It was simply wonderful. You will learn a lot about chimpanzees, and I promiss you will never watch them in the zoo, in the same way, again. Even if you are not looking to learn about chimpanzee developement and behavior, the book is excellent on a purely entertainment level. Even though this book is was a required reading, I was so impressed that I'm going out to buy her other books... just out of interest.Book Review: Chimp-man continuum
Summary: 5 Stars
"In the shadow of man" reads like a recently published book, not published in 1971. The argumnets are strong that it is hard for dispute theory of evolution and our intimate relation to other animals. This book, and others, made me quit my religious beliefs that my parents instilled in me long time ago. I hope other people whill enjoy the book the same way I did.Book Review: In the Shadow of Man is wonderful

Dr. Goodall portrays her stay in Africa vividly, and is truly inspirational. "In the Shadow of Man" is a wonderful book!Book Review: Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
Jane Goodall's first popular book, and worth every penny. It does not become outdated with time -- it becomes more interesting. Follow this work with her "Reason for Hope" and you will be blown away by the spiritual journey Goodall has taken over the decades.
