"I really do simply adore Kenya. It is so wild, uncultivated, primitive, mad, exciting, unpredictable."
Jane Goodall began her research on chimpanzees in the Gombe in 1960 at the age of 26. Since that time she has become one of the most revered scientists in the world and her work as a primatologist, conservationist, and humanitarian have won her practically universal acclaim. Edited and with an introduction and charter prefaces by Dale Peterson, this book, an "autobiography in letters," gathers Goodall's correspondence from her childhood through her early years of research. Uncommon signed.
