Jane Goodall: 50 Years at Gombe: A Tribute to the Five Decades of Wildlife Research, Education, and Conservation

Produced in honor of the field site's fiftieth anniversary, Jane Goodall: fifty Years at Gombe is a compelling pictorial tribute to Dr. Goodall's life, her studies of chimpanzee behavior, and her unflagging efforts to motivate people to make this world a better place. With photographs and text throughout, this edition traces five decades of compassion and discovery.

Recounted are endeavors at the Gombe field site including landmark research related to AIDS progression; establishing programs to improve sanitation, health care, and education in neighboring Tanzanian communities; and partnering with local people to pursue reforestation initiatives.

"The great thing about Gombe is not that Jane Goodall 'redefined' humankind but that she set a new standard, a very high standard, for behavioral study of apes in the wild . . ." — National Geographic
