Bücher von Jane Goodall

World-renowned primatologist, conservationist, and humanitarian Dr. Jane Goodall's account of her life among the wild chimpanzees of Gombe is one of the most enthralling stories of animal behavior ever written. Dr. Goodall's adventure began when the famous anthropologist Dr. Louis Leakey suggested that a long-term study of chimpanzees in the wild might shed light on the behavior of our closest living relatives. Accompanied by only her mother and her African assistants, she set up camp in the remote Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve in Tanzania. For months the project seemed hopeless; out in the forest from dawn until dark, she had but fleeting glimpses of frightened animals. But gradually she won their trust and was able to record previously unknown behavior, such as the use--and even the making--of tools, until then believed to be an exclusive skill of man. As she came to know the chimps as individuals, she began to understand their complicated social hierarchy and observed many extraordinary behaviors, which have forever changed our understanding of the profound connection between humans and chimpanzees. In the Shadow of Man is "one of the Western world's great scientific achievements" (Stephen Jay Gould) and a vivid, essential journey of discovery for each new generation of readers.

Wie können wir in schweren Zeiten Hoffnung schöpfen?Jane Goodall ist die Pionierin der Natur- und Verhaltensforschung und seit Jahrzehnten leidenschaftliche Botschafterin des Artenschutzes. In ihren Zwanzigern ging sie in die Gombe-Wälder Tansanias, um die dort lebenden Schimpansen zu studieren; heute ist sie zur Ikone einer neuen, jungen Generation von Klimaaktivist:innen geworden. In »Das Buch der Hoffnung« schöpft sie aus der Weisheit ihres ganzen, unermüdlich der Natur gewidmeten Lebens, um uns zu lehren, wie wir auch im Angesicht von Pandemien, Kriegen und drohenden Umweltkatastrophen Zuversicht finden. Mit ihrem Co-Autor Douglas Abrams spricht Jane über ihre Reisen, ihre Forschungen und ihren Aktivismus und ermöglicht uns so ein neues Verständnis der Krisen, mit denen wir aktuell konfrontiert sind. Gemeinsam skizzieren Jane und Doug den einzig möglichen Weg in die Zukunft - indem wir die Hoffnung wieder in unsere Leben einziehen lassen.Denn es gibt sie, die Hoffnung, auch wenn sie uns manchmal unerreichbar scheint. Finden können wir sie in der Natur - und in unserer eigenen Widerstandskraft.

Jane Goodall hat unsere Vorstellungen von der Verbindung zwischen Mensch und Schimpanse für immer verändert. Die berühmte Verhaltensforscherin hat Schimpansen als Erste als Individuen betrachtet und revolutionierte so ihr Fachgebiet. Es ist Goodall zu verdanken, dass wir heute wissen, dass Schimpansen Werkzeuge benutzen und komplexe soziale Hierarchien bilden. Die Neuauflage ihres 1971 erstmals erschienenen Buchs erzählt von den Anfängen ihrer Feldstudien im Gombe-Nationalpark in Tansania und ist in seinem Einsatz für Umwelt- und Artenschutz so aktuell wie eh und je.

We see Goodall grow from a schoolgirl into the promising young candidate whom the legendary Louis Leakey sent to a wildlife preserve on the shores of Lake Tanganyika to undertake a revolutionary study of chimpanzees. At Gombe we see her immerse herself in the lives of wild animals as no one had done before. AFRICA IN MY BLOOD is a dramatic, moving, funny, and important book that tells the story of how an English girl who loved animals became one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century.
