Jim Ottaviani returns with an action-packed account of the three greatest primat
ologists of the last century: Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birute Galdikas. Th
ese three ground-breaking researchers were all students of the great Louis Leake
y, and each made profound contributions to primatology and to our own understand
ing of ourselves.
Tackling Goodall, Fossey, and Galdikas in turn, and covering
the highlights of their respective careers, "Primates" is an accessible, entert
aining, and informative look at the field of primatology and at the lives of thr
ee of the most remarkable women scientists of the twentieth century. Thanks to t
he charming and inviting illustrations by Maris Wicks, this is a nonfiction grap
hic novel with broad appeal."
