Klappentext: "Some ten years ago a
young English girl landed on the shore of Lake Tanganyika. Her task was to observe the chimpanzees who lived
in the wild and densely forested mountainside above the lake. For three months she caught only distant
glimpses; for another year alone, often ill or in danger, she combed the forest in their path. Finally they
came to accept her almost as one of themselves. She grew to know them as individual friends; so that the
habits and humours of David Greybeard, McGregor or the matriarchal Flo were as familiar as those of a
favourite brother. Patiently she observed and recorded, built up a dossier such as has never been compiled
about another wild animal. Today a team of research workers helps her with her studies. This book,
brilliantly illuminated by her husband's photographs, is the fruit of those ten years. Its scientific
importance is shown by the honours heaped upon her by academics. Its wider significance is no less obvious.
The chimpanzees are man's nearest relatives. Their family life and social hierarchies, their loyalties and
vendettas, their sexual behaviour, their treatment of children and the old, have a strange relevance to the
human condition. The author does not draw morals but the morals are there for all to see: indeed, the
lessons that she learned were applied in bringing up her own child. Far more than by the calculations of
computers we can learn by the study of those whom we have so far outstripped. Only thus can we understand
what we have lost along the way. In the Shadow of Man does as much to place humanity in its true
perspective as the first flight to the moon."

Innocent Killers
von Hugo van Lawick-Goodall (Text & Fotos) & Jane van Lawick-Goodall (Text), Vorwort von L.S.B. Leakey
Synopsis: "Innocent Killers is
a rare piece of original and highly scientific research that reads with the pace and vividness of a
thriller. The authors lived for four years with the wild dogs, jackals and hyenas which are the subject of
this close study - but the animals have personal characteristics, habits and social status, and their story
upsets many popular conceptions into the bargain."

Verleger: "Craig Packer takes us into
Africa for a journey of fifty-two days in the fall of 1991. But this is more than a tour of magnificent
animals in an exotic, faraway place. A field biologist since 1972, Packer began his work studying primates
at Gombe and then the lions of the Serengeti
and the Ngorongoro Crater with his wife and colleague Anne Pusey. Here, he introduces us to the
real world of fieldwork - initiating assistants to lion research in the Serengeti,
helping a doctoral student collect data, collaborating with Jane Goodall on primate research. As in the
works of George Schaller and Cynthia Moss, Packer transports us to life in the field. He is addicted to this
land - to the beauty of a male lion striding across the Serengeti
plains, to the calls of a baboon troop through the rain forests of Gombe - and to understanding the animals that inhabit it. Through his vivid narration,
we feel the dust and the bumps of the Arusha Road, smell the rosemary in the air at lunchtime on a Serengeti
verandah, and hear the lyrics of the Grateful Dead playing off bootlegged tapes. Into Africa also
explores the social lives of the animals and the threats to their survival. Packer grapples with questions
he has passionately tried to answer for more than two decades. Why do female lions raise their young in
crèches? Why do male baboons move from troop to troop while male chimps band together? How can humans and
animals continue to coexist in a world of diminishing resources? Immediate demands - logistical nightmares,
political upheavals, physical exhaustion - yield to the larger inescapable issues of the interdependence of
the land, the animals, and the people who inhabit it."

Lions Share
The Story of a Serengeti Pride
von Jeannette Hanby (Text) & David Bygott (Illustrationen), Vorwort von Jane Goodall
Klappentext: "This is a story about a
wild lion pride on the open plains of Serengeti. Sonara is one
of nine intrepid female lions who struggle to establish themselves in an area where few lions can survive
the seasonal cycle of feast and famine. Sonara and her sisters are intensely sociable, living and hunting
together, rearing their cubs communally, cooperating in defense. They are the core of the Sametu pride, but
there are powerful males who affect their lives, as lovers, fathers, warriors, and enemies. Neighboring
prides and nomadic lions are part of the story, too, as are the myriad other creatures with which the lions
share the Serengeti plains.
Jeannette Hanby and David Bygott lived among these lions for four years, coming to know them intimately as
individuals. Their work involved hundreds of lions, but the tale unfolded by Sonara's pride intrigued them
most of all. Here they describe what they saw when following the great cats through moonlit nights and
scorching days, unobtrusively recording the trials and triumphs of the pride. In her lively and
authoritative text, Jeannette tells the story of the pride and at the same time reveals the underlying
structure of lion society. Each chapter emphasizes a different and essential aspect of lion life. The Serengeti itself provides
a fascinating setting, and the lions' adventures serve to introduce the reader to the ecology of the plains.
David Bygott's superb and accurate illustrations give a remarkable personal view of the lions and their
world. This is a book of great beauty that tells a rich and enthralling tale."

Synopsis: "Even more fascinating than
the beloved best seller Born Free is this absorbing story of how Elsa, the world-famous lioness, raised her
three cubs in the African bush with the help of her devoted friends, Joy and George Adamson. This stirring
story of the cubs' first year of life reveals an unusually rewarding relationship between animals and humans
that dissolves the barriers between the two worlds. For although the cubs - impish Jespah, jealous Gopa, and
timid Little Elsa - romp through these pages with carefree abandon, the adults - the Adamsons and Elsa -
must contend with the ever-present menaces of the wild - charging buffaloes, crocodiles lurking in the
shallows, marauding elephants, hostile lions, and, most treacherous of all, enraged African poachers out
gunning for Elsa's hide. And Elsa herself must juggle three roles: the cubs' vigilant mother, the Adamsons'
touchingly affectionate friend, and the primitive mate of a wild lion."
