One of the most important books ever written about our
connection to the natural world, GORILLAS IN THE MIST
is the riveting account of Dian Fossey's thirteen years in a
remote African rain forest with the greatest of the great
apes. Fossey's extraordinary efforts to ensure the future of
the rain forest and its remaining mountain gorillas are
captured in her own words and in candid photographs of this
fascinating endangered species. As only she could, Fossey
combined her personal adventure story with groundbreaking
scientific reporting in an unforgettable portrait of one of
our closest primate relatives. Although Fossey's work ended
tragically in her murder, GORILLAS IN THE MIST remains an
invaluable testament to one of the longest-running field
studies of primates and reveals her undying passion for her
subject.
