The Chimpanzees I Love
by Jane Goodall

As a child, Jane Goodall dreamed of traveling to the jungles of Africa to study the magnificent animals that live there. As a young woman, Jane Goodall made that journey and met the fascinating community of chimpanzees that became her life's passion. Here, in a compelling personal narrative addressed especially to young people, renowned scientist Dr. Goodall recounts the exciting adventure of her groundbreaking discoveries about chimpanzees and their profound similarities to ourselves. She describes their tool — using and — making behavior, the lifelong bonds between family members, their capacity for love and compassion on the one hand, their aggression and a kind of primitive warfare on the other. And she tells how her love for the chimpanzees, now an endangered species, drives her today t o campaign tirelessly for their protection as well as for other amazing animals and their vanishing habitats.

Beautifully illustrated with striking photographs, Dr. Goodall's account of her life with the chimpanzees is a powerful story of achievement, a compelling call to action, and a message of hope for all.
