More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
'One of history's most impressive field studies...an instant animal classic' Time
Product Description
Jane Goodall's classic account of primate research provides an impressively detailed and absorbing account of the early years of her field study of, and adventures with, chimpanzees in Tanzania, Africa. It is a landmark for everyone to enjoy. 'Jane Goodall's work has already passed into the legends of culture...and represents one of the Western world's great scientific achievements ...Chimps, as our closest genealogical cousins, hold more of our common evolutionary heritage than any other species can. Chimpanzees are not so much the shadow of man as our mirror, only slightly blurred by the mists of time' Stephen Jay Gould

The only regret I had about this book was that I should have read it years ago. Brilliant.

I've read a few science non-fiction books, but 'In the Shadow of Man' by Jane Goodall really stands out. Maybe because it was written so well. In this book, Goodall isn't simply listing facts about Chimpanzees to you, but writing in such a personal way that you feel you are getting to know the chimpanzees themselves. And when finished the book you can really see the similarities between humans and our close 'cousins' the chimpanzees.
All in all, I truely enjoyed this book. Not only do you get a glimpse of the life of a chimpanzee, you also get a glimpse into what's it like to study them.

I read this book after I saw Jane Goodall lecture in Calgary, Canada. It is a wonderful description of the interactions between a group of chimpanzees and it gave me a new respect for these fascinating and intelligent animals. A well-written and well-organised narrative.
