This book has wonderful historical information relating to the first accounts of orangutans and other animals like apes and chimpanzees. It also recounts how society's perception of these wonderful animals has changed over time, and how oragutans tie into our concept of human evolution. There a tons of just great photos and little stories.
This book is unspeakably beautifully photographed, written by the foremost expert in the field, the woman who originated the study of Orangutans in the wild, it's as accurate and informative as it gets.It was well enough printed and bound to have been a library book for years, and yet survived to sit on our coffee table, enthralling our guests. I got it as a gift for my daughter, who knows some of the hairy red people in the book personally, and for now, the book gets to live with us while she plays with them. There are a small handful of books on this subject - this one is by far the best - it covers the subject thoroughly, catches your eye, and then captures your heart.It's a coffee table book; the text is well written and informative, supported by photographs that really take you to Kalimantan.
This is a great book about the orangutans of Borneo that are being studied by Birute M.F. Galdikas. It talks about Princess, Uranus, Yaiyat, and the powerful Kusasi. Great for people who love Orangutans and want to help save their enviroment.
The book was in good condition and the delivery was efficient and relatively quick considering the Christmas period. It was an excellent book considering the price. Very worthwhile purchase!!!
A delight to do business with. I got better service than I had anticipated. Precise and on time like suggested.
If evolution is true, why are there still apes and monkeys???Well?:D
Terrific book by one of the "Leaky girls"
