Recommended for young people interested in learning more

Packed with color photography throughout, For the Love of Chimps: The Jane Goodall Story traces Goodall's remarkable contribution to science. For years, scientists wondered what could be learned about humans from studying chimpanzees, yet since chimps lived in remote African jungles and ran from people, no one could study them - until Jane Goodall came and learned how to seamlessly blend with chimps' environment. Her discoveries, emotional attachment to the chimps she quietly observed for so long, and the humanitarian causes Jane Goodall supports are all presented in this educational and eye-opening book, especially recommended for young people interested in learning more about chimpanzees.
