My friends, the wild chimpanzees

In 1960 a young Englishwoman named Jane Goodall embarked on a daring scientific adventure: the study of chimpanzees in the wild. Encouraged and aided by Dr. Louis B. Leakey, she traveled hundreds of miles across East Africa to reach the remote Gombe Stream Game Reserve. There she found the powerful and potentially dangerous wild chimpanzee, a member of the group of primates known as the Great Apes. This remarkable, charming book tells of the drama and the humor, the challenges and rewards of her years of exhaustive research.
