Why read it?

1 author picked My Life with the Chimpanzees as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is an autobiography from the late great Dr. Jane Goodall. She recently died and I decided to reread this book.
It's about her encounters with chimpanzees in Tanzania. This was near the start of her career. Her observations changed how scientists and many of us look at wildlife.

Prior to her visits to this area, other scientists number the chimpanzees they studied. Dr. Goodall gave them names and showed us how close we are to these magnificent creatures.

I love animals and have so much respect for Dr. Goodall's work.
