Customer Reviews

Great intro to Jane Goodall

Just saw Dr Goodall in Atlanta Jun 2024 and read most of this book beforehand. Was wonderful in helping me understand her beginning years as a youngster and older how she developed her life interests and love for chimpanzees and all other creatures around us.

Outstanding Book

I bought this for my daughter, Beth. It is an outstanding book. Incredible photos and very well done. Like all of Jane Goodall's books, this is a keeper. John Jensen

Excellent tribute to Goodall's life and work

_____I bought this book for my girlfriend, who is a huge fan of Jane Goodall. But I find myself picking it up and reading through it a lot. This book is an excellent read, for the casual animal lover as well as those with a deep interest in primatology. _____The book covers much of Jane Goodall's life, including biographical info, historical research milestones, and even those special moments that make Goodall the concerned activist she is. It has well-written text and beautiful, high-quality photos. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Jane Goodall, especially those who do not know much about her and would like a starter reference book.

A Worthy Devotion to an amazing Woman!

At 14, I admire and sulute Ms. Goodall! Her work and devotion to some the most fascinating of animals is absolutely stunning! I think that over her 40 wonderful at Gombe, she has developed a beautiful relationship with these animals, and you can definetely see and feel their love with this book! Everyone who has ever read her dazzling books or has any knowledge or admiration for Jane's hard and unmistakably hard work will enjoy this timeline of a stunning woman's life in Africa! Enjoy!
