Crater area of Tanzania, East Africa, observing every aspect of hyena behavior. His primary concern is
with assessing the impact of hyena predation on the populations of ungulates. In addition, he explores the
way in which the social system of spotted hyenas is adapted to their ecology, and he compares the various
hyena social systems with those of other carnivores, and even with that of man. Chapters: Introduction;

Through a Window
My Thirty Years With the Chimpanzees of Gombe
Synopsis: "Through a Window is
the dramatic saga of thirty years in the life of a community, of birth and death, sex and love, power and
war. It reads like a novel, but it is one of the most important scientific works ever published. The
community is Gombe, on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, where the principal residents are chimpanzees
and one extraordinary woman who is their student, protector, and historian. In her classic In the Shadow of Man,
Jane Goodall wrote of her first ten years at Gombe. In Through a Window she brings the story up to the present, painting a
much more complete and vivid portrait of our closest relative. We see the community split in two and a
brutal war break out. We watch young Figan's relentless rise to power and old Mike's crushing defeat. We
learn how one mother rears her children to succeed and another dooms them to failure. We witness horrifying
murders, touching moments of affection, joyous births, and wrenching deaths. In short, we see every emotion
known to humans stripped to its essence. In the mirror of chimpanzee life, we see ourselves reflected.
Perhaps the best book ever written about animal behavior, Through a Window is also essential reading
for anyone seeking a better grasp of human behavior."

The Year of the Gorilla
von George B. Schaller
Gebundene Ausgabe, 260 Seiten, 30
Schwarzweißfotos auf 32 Tafeln, 27 Schwarzweißillustrationen, 3 Karten University
of Chicago Press (USA), 1964
Synopsis: "For kindred spirits -
those who enjoy reading about wild animals and remote places - George B. Schaller has written an informal
and exciting story of his two years of travel and observation in East and Central Africa. In the late 1950s,
Schaller began the first study of gorillas in the wild, high in the Virunga volcanoes on the
Zaire-Rwanda-Uganda border. He learned that these great animals, far from being the vicious apes of film and
fiction, form close-knit societies of caring mothers and protective fathers watching over playful young.
Along with his observations of gorilla society, Schaller shares his joy in the awesome beauty of the
mist-shrouded volcanoes, the people he met, and the enforced yet splendid solitude of the naturalist.
Gorillas then were endangered, but not so severely threatened as they are today by the continuing wars that
rage in their once-remote mountains and by the cruel snares of poachers. The Year of the Gorilla is
Schaller's classic adventure story of gorilla society as it once was - and as it someday may be again, if
people can live in peace with each other and the remarkable animals in their midst."
