pickI grew up watching Goodall on NatGeo specials, so this brought back memories. I loved her stories about the chimps of Gombe forest. But this is more than that. She connects nature, spirituality, man‘s humanity ... and our inhumanity ... as well. Written in the late 90s, it‘s a bit dated though.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m interested to read this one....as a kid I was fascinated by the trio Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birutė Galdikas. 4y
Cinfhen Lovely review and so nice that it included photographs 🥰 4y
alisiakae I was so inspired by Jane Goodall when I was in college! I wanted to be her, until I discovered I prefer to work with the human species (I still question that decision sometimes 🤣). 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m not familiar with Birute but yes, I def connected with the other two back in the day. Hope you enjoy the book! 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft Haha! I can understand how you could question that! 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I know, I only found out about her kind of by accident. Originally three women were sent out, Goodall (of course Chimpanzees), Fosse (Gorrillas), and Birute was Orangutans. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trimates 4y
