Publisher Description
For the first time ever unabridged and read by the author, this audiobook is a testimony of true humanity-filled with adventure, life lessons and hope for our world.
From the time she was a girl, Jane Goodall dreamed of a life spent working with animals. Finally she had her wish. When she was twenty-six years old, she ventured into the forests of Africa to observe chimpanzees in the wild. On her expeditions she braved the dangers with leopards and lions in the African bush. And she got to know an amazing group of wild chimpanzees-intelligent animals whose lives, in work and play and family relationships, bear a surprising resemblance to our own.
MY LIFE WITH THE CHIMPANZEES is a seminal work from one of the world's leaders on species conservation, and inspirational listening for all ages.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Dr. Jane Goodall inspires current and future generations of animal lovers with this deeply moving memoir aimed at a young adult audience. The esteemed animal researcher and conservationist takes a look back at her life and work, especially the years she famously spent observing wild chimpanzees in Tanzania. Her determination and perseverance (she didn’t even have a college degree when she joined her first research team) ultimately led to a giant leap in our understanding of humankind’s primate cousins. In this updated edition, Goodall strengthens her call for young people in particular to become involved in conservation efforts. She makes it clear, however, that everyone, everywhere can make an impact simply by being more empathetic toward all animals. Goodall narrates her own book; her passion and warmth mix beautifully with a variety of sound effects that make her stories even more immersive. This listen will open your eyes—and your heart—to the many creatures with whom we share the planet.
