5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a picture book!, 15 Jun 2008
By Mrs. J. K. Aundrews (Southampton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Thinkers of the Jungle (Hardcover)
This has tobe the best book about orangutans ever written. Please don't just look at the amazing photos (some of them will break your heart), but read the text - every word - it will for ever change your perception of these wonderful apes. As it says in the foreword, orangutans are too good for this world. It's up to us to make sure they always remain a part of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on orangutans, 13 Jun 2008
This review is from: Thinkers of the Jungle (Hardcover)
An outstanding book with more superb photos than any other
on this subject. Besides the photos it's coverage of related issues is the most comprehensive you will ever read; thankfully the whole book is written in a journalistic rather than scientific style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deeply moving, upsetting, wonderful!, 20 Oct 2008
This review is from: Thinkers of the Jungle (Hardcover)
This incredible book touches heart and mind and reveals insight into our fellow creatures - the orangutans - a knowledge hitherto concealed or only communicated in a biased way. The author, Gerd Schuster, known for highly sensitive articles covering the entire spectrum of "human being - environment - animal" has mastered the art of giving an emphatic account of life, behaviour and fate of these wonderful animals and presenting all this to the reader - together with for the most part unknown facts, touching and presenting every aspect in total context. He certainly does not miss out on all the facts which form a threat for the life of orangutans: economical and political interests, exploitation of nature, human ignorance and greed .... however, he also offers ways out... All this, in symbiosis with those incredible and stunning photos of Jay Ullal has a lasting effect which keeps readers and beholders captivated.
