New Releases by Jane Goodall

Si con la publicación en 1971 de "A la sombra del hombre" Jane Goodall suscitó una oleada de asombro y conmoción, no menos resonancia alcanzó casi veinte años después la aparición de "A través de una ventana" (1989), obra en la que la primatóloga da cuenta de las observaciones, incidentes y pautas de comportamiento que tanto ella como su equipo pudieron recopilar a lo largo de casi treinta años de labor con la comunidad de chimpancés del Parque Nacional de Gombe Stream, en Tanzania. La obra, ya clásica, consolidó definitivamente el cambio en los métodos de estudio relativos a los grandes primates, así como la propia consideración de la comunidad científica hacia esta especie con la que el ser humano tiene en común el 99 por ciento de su ADN. La presente edición incorpora todas las adiciones que hizo la autora para la definitiva de la obra en 2009, en las que deja constancia no sólo de estos cambios, sino también del destino posterior de buena parte de los chimpancés con los que compartió aquellos años.

Depuis l’enfance, Jane Goodall ne désire qu’une chose : comprendre les animaux. Mais comment commencer ? Comment en vivre ? Une fois le bac en poche, sa mère lui conseille d’entrer dans une école de secrétariat. Elle lui assure qu’une bonne secrétaire peut toujours trouver du travail, et partout dans le monde. Jane enchaîne les petits boulots à Londres. Certains sont même plutôt très amusants. Mais la jeune fille les considère comme une étape. Elle guette sa chance. La chance se présentera une première fois un mercredi matin sous la forme d’une lettre d’une ancienne camarade de classe l’invitant à passer des vacances au Kenya. Jane doit beaucoup travailler et faire de terribles économies pour s’offrir le billet. Ses efforts et son obstination paieront. Sur place, un anthropologue et paléontologue a besoin d’une secrétaire. En vérité, il est très impressionné par les vastes connaissances de la jeune fille sur la faune et la flore africaines. C’est ainsi qu’a commencé l’histoire de Jane Goodall, celle d’une jeune fille qui s’est donné les moyens d’une vie passionnante. Elle raconte dans ce livre son parcours depuis Bournemouth jusqu’à la réserve de Gombe et sa rencontre avec les chimpanzés.

Neste livro, Jane Goodall, a naturalista mais célebre do mundo, e o escritor Douglas Abrams tratam de uma característica humana fundamental para enfrentar as adversidades: a esperança. “O otimismo contagiante de Jane Goodall e seu chamado à ação tornam esta leitura necessária para todos aqueles que se preocupam com o futuro do planeta.” – Publishers Weekly “Uma mensagem poderosa sobre a importância de proteger a existência de todas as criaturas.” – Leonardo DiCaprio Com a sabedoria de quem dedicou a vida à natureza, Jane explica por que, apesar da crise climática, da perda de biodiversidade e das turbulências políticas, ainda acredita na humanidade e na construção de um mundo melhor. Ela nos apresenta quatro razões para mantermos essa chama viva dentro de nós: o maravilhoso intelecto humano, a resiliência da natureza, o poder dos jovens e o indômito espírito humano. Instigada por Abrams, Jane revisita suas memórias: os primeiros desafios como jovem pesquisadora na África, as descobertas sobre os chimpanzés, os pequenos e grandes dramas que testemunhou e viveu. De suas histórias, vitórias e derrotas emergem pistas valiosas para cultivarmos a esperança em nós mesmos e ensinarmos nossos filhos a tê-la. Só assim seremos capazes de superar novamente os momentos difíceis.

Kuinka voimme pitää kiinni toivosta maailmassa, joka näyttää olevan valtavissa vaikeuksissa? Antti Immosen kääntämässä ajankohtaisessa teoksessa maailman tunnetuin elossa oleva luonnontutkija Jane Goodall ja kansainvälisesti menestynyt kirjailija Douglas Abrams pohdiskelevat ihmisluonnon kaivattua ja heikoimmin ymmärrettyä osaa – toivoa. Paheneva ilmastokriisi, maailmanlaajuinen pandemia, biodiversiteetin hupeneminen, poliittiset mullistukset – näiden musertavien uhkien edessä meidän voi olla vaikeaa asennoitua optimistisesti. Toivo on sitä, mitä nyt kipeimmin kaipaamme. Kirja toivosta on myös kuvaus erityislaatuisen naisen tunteista ja ajatuksista – naisen, joka on mullistanut tapamme tarkastella maailmaa, ja joka on omistanut elämänsä taistelulle tulevaisuutemme puolesta. ”Yksi koko maailman vaikuttavimmista ja tärkeimmistä suunnannäyttäjistä. Jane on lähes joka päivä levittämässä optimismia ja tietoisuutta eri puolilla maailmaa. Hänen viestinsä kuuluu: Meidän on suojeltava jokaisen elollisen olennon oikeuksia, tarjottava toivoa tuleville sukupolville ja vastustettava kaikkien aikojen suurinta uhkaa – ilmastonmuutosta.” – LEONARDO DICAPRIO

La speranza non è mai stata così disperatamente necessaria. A ricordarcelo è Jane Goodall, etologa e attivista leggendaria, che in decenni spesi a combattere per la natura ha assistito alle peggiori devastazioni dell’uomo sull’ambiente; eppure conserva ancora la fiducia in una nuova alleanza tra gli esseri umani e il pianeta, e la ripone in una ritrovata armonia tra l’intelletto degli uomini e il loro spirito indomito, e nel potere delle nuove generazioni. Attraverso il dialogo con Douglas Abrams, Goodall intreccia la sua storia – l’infanzia in Inghilterra, la ricerca pionieristica sugli scimpanzé a Gombe, in Tanzania, il ruolo di Messaggera di Pace delle Nazioni Unite – con un appello urgente perché ognuno di noi trovi le proprie ragioni per sperare e di conseguenza agire. Questo libro è un manifesto della speranza e insieme un viaggio nel cuore e nella mente di una donna che ha saputo guardare e guardando imparare, e non ha mai smesso di farlo.

Local Voices, Local Choices: The Tacare Approach to Community-Led Conservation chronicles the stories behind Jane Goodall''s holistic approach to conservation in Africa.

Es inútil negarlo: vivimos en una era realmente difícil. Una pandemia global, una crisis climática que no deja de empeorar, conflictos armados, desigualdad económica creciente... Ciertamente, sentir esperanza cuando el mundo tiene retos tan complejos puede parecer una proposición difícil, ingenua, incluso utópica. Pero sin duda es necesarísima para hallar nuevos caminos propicios para la humanidad y el resto de los habitantes del planeta. Mediante un animado diálogo, la célebre naturalista Jane Goodall y el escritor Douglas Abrams plantean en este oportuno volumen que tenemos aún varias razones para entrar en acción por nuestro futuro si confiamos en nuestra capacidad intelectual, la resiliencia del mundo natural, el poder de los jóvenes y el indomable espíritu humano. La esperanza, afirma Jane Goodall, es contagiosa y se sostiene en la convicción de que nuestras acciones tendrán resultados positivos. Sí: todavía hay esperanza, y este libro nos ayudará a encontrarla. «Un mensaje poderoso sobre proteger los derechos de todos los seres vivos, dar esperanza a las generaciones futuras y hacer un llamado urgente para combatir el cambio climático.» Leonardo DiCaprio

From legendary naturalist Jane Goodall, an absorbing fictional tale that will steal hearts and open minds about the plight of the pangolin, the only mammalian species with scales, and endangered by illegal trafficking. After a blissful babyhood being cared for by her loving mother, Pangolina ventures out alone into the forest to become an independent adult, helped along by wise, older animal companions, including a civet and a bat. But one day cruel hunters trap Pangolina, putting her into a cage along with her friends, and bring them to a market to be sold as wild game. Pangolina is especially vulnerable, since her scales are prized by humans who believe they have curative powers. To the rescue comes a small girl who knows that pangolins are friendly fellow creatures who have feelings too, and who convinces her mother to buy Pangolina and set her free.

Jane Goodall retells a beloved story from her own childhood—a fable that illustrates how we depend on each other for help and support throughout our lives When the birds of the world squabble about who can fly the highest, the owl devises a contest to settle the question. As one by one various contestants drop out, only the eagle remains, soaring high above the earth. However, the wren, stowed away in the eagle’s feathers, suddenly appears and uses him as a launching pad to fly even higher. When they arrive back on the ground, the owl drives home the story’s moral of togetherness and teamwork. Goodall continues the theme in an afterword, explaining how “we all need an eagle” and sharing insights on those who have played that role in her own life. Reichstein’s illustrations of the winged creatures are meticulously crafted, and the timeless, sweeping expanse of blue sky along with the heavenwards-slanted text creates a soft visual echo of the story’s soaring motif.

Rickie the chimpanzee lived happily with her mother in the rain forests of Central Africa, warm and safe—until the day the hunters came and took Rickie away to sell at a Congolese market.

This true story of friendship is heart-warmingly brought to life by renowned scientist, conservationist and peace activist Dr. Jane Goodall.

Immense scientifique à la renommée internationale, Jane Goodall est à jamais celle qui a démontré que l''outil n''était pas le propre de l''humain. L''histoire de cette jeune femme vivant avec les chimpanzés en Tanzanie dans les années 50 avait fasciné le monde entier, mais il lui aura fallu des décennies pour faire entendre l''essentiel de sa découverte : l''être humain n''est pas le centre du monde, mais un individu "sapiens" parmi toutes les espèces vivantes. Cette révolution des mentalités qu''elle a engagée avant tous est désormais réactualisée par les événements dramatiques qui frappent la planète : le réchauffement climatique, la disparition des espèces végétales et animales, mais aussi la pauvreté accrue de populations. Dans ce livre, la célèbre messagère de la paix des Nations Unies s''appuie sur son parcours de vie pour livrer à notre réflexion ses raisons d''espérer. Elle en appelle à un nouveau code moral universel pour relever les défis que font peser les menaces environnementales sur l''ensemble du monde vivant et redéfinir les liens entre l''humain et la nature.

Though Mary Shelley''s Frankenstein has inspired a vast body of criticism, there are no book-length studies that contextualise this widely taught novel in contemporary scientific and literary debates. The essays in this volume by leading writers in their fields provide new historical scholarship into areas of science and pseudo-science that generated fierce controversy in Mary Shelley''s time: anatomy, electricity, medicine, teratology, Mesmerism, quackery and proto-evolutionary biology. The collection embraces a multifaceted view of the exciting cultural climate in Britain and Europe from 1780 to 1830. While Frankenstein is all too often read as a cautionary tale of the inherent dangers of uncontrolled scientific experimentation, the essays here take the reader back to a period when experimenters and radical thinkers viewed science as the harbinger of social innovation that would counter the virulent conservative backlash following the French Revolution. The collection will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars specialising in Romanticism, cultural history, philosophy and the history of science.

Jane Goodall ha rivoluzionato le nostre conoscenze sul comportamento animale e sui rapporti con quello umano attraverso le sue ricerche sugli scimpanzé in Kenya e in Tanzania, che segnano uno dei punti più alti dell’evoluzionismo post-darwiniano e dell’etologia. In questo libro racconta la sua Africa tra ieri e oggi, tra emozionanti conquiste scientifiche e drammatici problemi ambientali, mutamenti epocali e conflitti. Un racconto in cui la scienza diventa anche poesia. Il volume è completato da un testo di Massimo Di Forti e da un intervento di Daniela De Donno, del Jane Goodall Institute Italia.

"Cet ouvrage ne se réduit pas à une lettre d''amour dédiée aux végétaux, bien qu''en partie cela soit assurément le cas. Il s''agit aussi d''un appel aux armes, en même temps qu''une alerte devant la destruction de l''habitat naturel, la violence de l''industrie agroalimentaire, et des risques de l''ingénierie génétique. Il démontre qu''à notre époque, le long et beau voyage des plantes et des animaux à travers l''évolution, voyage mutuellement bénéfique, est arrivé à un nouveau stade critique, qui fonde l''urgence du propos de Graines d''espoir. Jane Goodall veut étendre la portée de l''empathie humaine une fois encore, de manière suffisamment large pour y inclure nos amies buveuses d''eau et de lumière. Pour leur bien comme pour le nôtre, partageons ces graines."
