A lot has happened since Stewart, Tabori & Chang first published Jane Goodall: 40 Years at Gombe in the Autumn of 1999. Most recently, Gombe has contributed ground-breaking AIDS research; established programmes to improve sanitation, health care and education within neighbouring Tanzanian communities; and empowered locals to pursue reforestation initiatives and refugee aid programs.The accomplishments of the past ten years alone have given the Jane Goodall Institute a great deal to celebrate. In honour of the field site's 50th anniversary, STC is proud to release Jane Goodall: 50 Years at Gombe, a compelling pictorial tribute to her life, her studies of the chimpanzees and her unflagging efforts to motivate human beings on their behalf. With a new format, a redesign, more than a dozen new photographs, and updated text throughout, this revised edition retraces five decades of compassion and discovery.

Dr. Jane Goodall is one of the world's most recognized scientists, the recipient of numerous awards, the subject of many documentary films, and a bestselling author. She first arrived in Gombe in 1960 with a single mission: to gain insight on human behavior through studying the region's chimpanzees.

Now, at age 75, Dr. Goodall spends more than 300 days of the year traveling the world, spreading her message, and fundraising for her causes.

This is an excellent, well written book that animal lovers will enjoy. The books retells the story of Jane Goodall's last 50 years experiences.
I received this book on Christmas Day and by the next day had finished reading it as I was unable to put it down. The photographs in the book are amazing and really give you the feeling that you are there in the jungle with them when you are reading the book.
Would certainly recommend this book to others.

A much-admired researcher.

I enjoy virtually following Ms Goodall into the forests and learning about the actions of the species she continues to study. How wonderful--for her and us--for her to have learned so early in her life just which species she wanted to study. Her contributions to the study of primates in their natural habitat continues, and her explanations of such are a joy to read. Highly recommended.
