Description
A great deal has happened since the publication of Jane Goodall: 40 Years at Gombe in 1999. Most recently, endeavours at the Gombe field site have included landmark research related to AIDS progression; establishing programmes to improve sanitation, healthcare, and education in neighbouring Tanzanian communities; and partnering with local people to pursue reforestation initiatives.
The accomplishments of the past 10 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 Dr. Goodall's life, her studies of chimpanzee behaviour, and her unflagging efforts to motivate people to make this world a better place.
With a new format, a modern design, more than a dozen new photographs, and updated text throughout, this revised edition retraces five decades of compassion and discovery.
