Overview
Highly descriptive text and stylish photography help explain the life of man's closest cousins. With brilliant photography and concise text, the authors give us a close up look at our nearest relatives. From the grizzled old male gorilla to the playful young orangutans so many of these creatures actions and habits are a reflection of those of human beings. This book tells us of the varying lifestyles of gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, gibbons and orangutans; their social habits, their environs and their relationship with humans and the importance of that to their long term survival. AUTHOR: Following a PhD on rehabilitation and reintroduction of orangutans in Borneo, Emmanuelle works as consultant primatologist for various NGOs in Africa and South America on primate conservation and reintroduction projects. A writer and scientific journalist, she collaborates with various French magazines including Terre Sauvage, Ça m'Intéresse, Sciences & Avenir, and Geo. She has also been a consultant for TV documentaries and has written several books, such as Être singe, with the photographer Cyril Ruoso, and Ces forêts qu'on assassine, an essay on deforestation in the tropics, as well as several books for children. Emmanuelle is president of the Jane Goodall Institut France and of the NGO-Awely, working on human-animal conflict resolution throughout the world. Colour throughout
