Through a window: My thirty years with the chimpanzees of Gombe.

Abstract

Precis. This is Jane Goodall's anecdotal meditation on her years at Gombe. Consisting of twenty relatively short chapters, it is only loosely chronological. Rather it has a number of foci. First, there is the field research itself and the setting within which it has taken place more or less continuously for over thirty years. The first chapter is a narrative describing a day in the field with Dr. Goodall. Her observations are interspersed with her thoughts on what it means to look through a window at the world of the chimpanzee, searching for meaning (p. 10). In the second chapter she continues her musings about what she is trying to learn via her research, discussing the problem of ascribing emotions and intellectual ability to non-human primates. The third chapter briefly introduces the reader to the Gombe Stream Research Cent?n
