Description

From the world-famous expert on chimpanzees - the powerfully compelling sequel to the international bestseller IN THE SHADOW OF MAN: 'An instant animal classic' TimeEquipped with little more than a notebook, binoculars, and her fascination with wildlife, Jane braved a realm of unknowns to give the world a remarkable window into humankind's closest living relatives.

On the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Gombe is a community where the principal residents are chimpanzees.

Through Goodall's eyes we watch as the younger chimpanzees vie for power, and how the leaders must deal with this challenge.

We learn how one mother successfully rears her children, whilst another appears to doom her offspring to failure.

All life is here - glorious births and heart-breaking deaths, moments of brutality, alongside the most tender displays of affection. In THROUGH A WINDOW, as Jane Goodall reveals the story of this intimately intertwined community, we are shown the parallels with human emotions laid bare.

Indeed, in the mirror of chimpanzee life, we see ourselves reflected.
