Review

Gorgeous photography by Gene Eckhart makes this book a must-have. -- Ian Paulsen Bird Booker Report 2009 Eckhart and Lanjouw target a larger audience of laypeople who would never read advanced scientific publications on mountain gorillas, but who are curious about their natural history and status. The superb color photography, unmatched in other books, will certainly appeal to general readers. Choice 2009 An important bibliography and original color photography complete this book. Mammalia 2010

Review

The survival of mountain gorillas depends wholly on our knowledge, interest, and compassion, forever. This book, with its vivid photographs, brings us up-to-date on the plight and the promise of mountain gorilla conservation.

(George Schaller, Wildlife Conservation Society 2009)

This book is a 'must read' for anyone wishing to delve below the surface on the subject of mountain gorilla conservation. It is simply the best treatise of the subject I have ever seen—and is beautifully punctuated with striking photographs. Eckhart and Lanjouw have given us the next best thing to being there!

(Mark Nolting, President of the Africa Adventure Company and author of Africa's Top Wildlife Countries 2009)

Every visit I ever had with mountain gorillas ended in tears. My emotions exploded as I drove away with my back to the silhouette of the Virunga volcanoes. I was always given more by the gorillas, the trackers, and researchers than I could ever find a way to give back with my photographs. Gene Eckhart and Annette Lanjouw's new book brings me home again, reminding us all of the world treasure that exists so tenuously in this one spot on our fragile planet.

(Michael "Nick" Nichols, National Geographic Magazine 2010)

Gorgeous photography by Gene Eckhart makes this book a must-have.

Eckhart and Lanjouw target a larger audience of laypeople who would never read advanced scientific publications on mountain gorillas, but who are curious about their natural history and status. The superb color photography, unmatched in other books, will certainly appeal to general readers.

I have to admit the cover photograph made me buy this book (obviously triggered by a huge interst in these great apes). I have not been disappointed. This book covers everything in detail. It is written in a very intelligent easy to follow way (there is a lot to read, but if you have a genuine interst, this is what you want). The photographs in this book are breathtaking. After reading this book I can't wait to book a trip to Rwanda actually seeing these great apes. Well done writers/photographers of this book, I can see this must have taken a long time to comply. I you love Gorillas, you will love this book.

Great Book 31 Dec 2008
By C. Weatherly - Published on Amazon.com

This is an incredible book about Gorillas and their habitat. The book is full of interesting information, but the stunning pictures make it a must have. Anyone with any interest in Gorillas should have this book in their library.

A Instant Classic!! 8 Feb 2009
By William Cramer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A superb and up to date account of the mountain gorilla. The pictures alone are worth the price of admission!! The text is excellent and detailed but very readable for all. I have read a lot of books on the mountain gorilla and I have enjoyed them all, but I must say, that this is one of the best.
