A
great deal has happened since the publication of Jane
Goodall: 40 Years at Gombe in 1999. Most recently,
endeavors at the Gombe field site have included landmark
research related to AIDS progression; establishing programs
to improve sanitation, health care, and education in
neighboring Tanzanian communities; and partnering with local
people to pursue reforestation initiatives. The
accomplishments of the past 10 years alone have given the
Jane Goodall Institute a great deal to celebrate. In honor
of the field site’s 50th anniversary, STC is proud to
release Jane Goodall: 50 Years at Gombe, a compelling
pictorial tribute to Dr. Goodall’s life, her studies of
chimpanzee behavior, and her unflagging efforts to motivate
people to make this world a better place. With a new format,
a modern design, more than a dozen new photographs, and
updated text throughout, this revised edition retraces five
decades of compassion and discovery.
