by Jane Goodall
First published 1998
In the lush forests of Tanzania, primatologist Jane Goodall forges profound bonds with a troop of chimpanzees. As she immerses herself in their intricate social lives, she discovers startling parallels to human behavior - from playful friendships to violent rivalries. With each passing year, the chimpanzees' joy, pain, and remarkable intelligence challenge Jane's preconceptions about the divide between humans and animals. At the heart of her journey lies the universal desire for love and belonging, in the animal kingdom and beyond.
