by Jane Goodall

In the forests of Tanzania, Jane Goodall revolutionized our understanding of chimpanzees. But her groundbreaking work came at a cost - personal tragedies, professional attacks, and a lifelong struggle to reconcile faith and science. Now, in a poignant memoir, Goodall reflects on her singular journey, from the horrors of wartime London to her triumphs in the field and her ongoing quest to protect the natural world.
