Through a Window: My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe by Jane Goodall

4.0

This is a wonderful, insightful book that doesn't only give an overview of Goodall's work with the chimpanzees. It also illustrates why so much needs to change about the relationship between humans and our environment. It's also just wonderful to read her observations about these creatures--to see how incredible they are, and how much like humans they are, including all the violence. The conclusion of the book has some harrowing stories about medical experiments on chimpanzees and the torturous conditions they endure. Is it any wonder, however, given how we do that to each other too?
