Rezension zu „Among African Apes: Stories and Photos from the Field “
"Gives a fresh insight into research and conservation efforts ... vivid descriptions reveal how chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas hunt, socialize and play in their natural habitat, as well as the threats they face from poaching, disease and deforestation."--Nature "If you like to think of chimps as wise, rational tool-users, gorillas as gentle giants, or bonobos as sexed-up hippie apes, be prepared for a shock. Among African Apes, a collection of field diaries, is primatology given the Tarantino treatment."--New Scientist "Compelling."--The Guardian / Birdbooker Report Blog "Awe and surprise come through these stories of seasoned field scientists learning new things."--Booklist "Illuminating collection of essays."--Foreword
