New Releases by Jane Goodall

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.

A universal message of hope and serenity among all of Earth''s inhabitants Jane Goodall is a world-renowned naturalist who brings her passion and her quest for understanding between all the Earth’s creatures to the fore in this beautiful and affecting prayer for world peace. She asks us all to rise above our dogmas, to bring a spirit of generosity to the living world around us, to pray for justice and for those who are suffering. Illustrated with rich and colorful artwork, this is prayer that’s both personal and universal and one that will speak to people of all ages from all backgrounds.

"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."

Introduces the physical characteristics, behavior, habitat, reproduction, and life cycle of the lion.

“Chimpanzees, more like us than any other living animal, form a living link between two worlds, human and non-human beings. When David Greybeard reached out to touch my hand I needed no words to understand his message of reassurance: and I loved him.” In this enchanting book, world-renowned scientist and conservationist Jane Goodall brings together stories gleaned from nearly 40 years of studying chimpanzees in the forests of Tanzania. As the stories recounted here demonstrate, chimpanzees are capable of great compassion, altruism, and love.

An illustrated depiction of a real-life story that celebrates the eternal, life-affirming bond between animals and humans Everyone loves Dr. White, a furry practitioner with four paws, a wagging tail, and an unorthodox bedside manner who day by day works his magic on very ill children at the hospital. Although his treatment is unconventional, it has a great success rate. But one day the health inspector arrives and bans Dr. White from the hospital. Who could have predicted the terrible coincidence that ends up bringing Dr. White back to the patients who love him? Based on a true story from a London hospital, Jane Goodall’s enchanting book reminds readers of all ages of the healing power of love.

Demons and killers, past and present, haunt an ancient landscape... superstition or terrifying reality? It is 1974, a time between times, and the autumn equinox, when the spirits are said to wander between worlds. Detective Briony Williams, starting a new job with the Thames Valley police in Oxford, is called to investigate the murder of a seventeen-year-old girl. In the victim’s hand she finds a stone carved with an ancient cryptic message, and is quickly convinced that this is no ordinary domestic crime. She follows leads that take her out into the prehistoric landscape of the White Horse Vale in search of a killer inspired by folklore traditions about a demonic supernatural visitor. To solve the case, Briony needs the help of a psychic girl and a druid leader, but she knows that only strictly scientific evidence will stand up in court. While the danger builds, Briony must steer a course between rationality and superstition, and find the courage to confront the demons from her own past. ‘A gripping mystery with a strong sense of evil’ The Australian Women''s Weekly

Nel 1960, a ventisei anni, Jane Goodall arriva sulle rive del lago Tanganica per studiare il comportamento degli scimpanzé. Ci vorrà più di un anno – vissuto lottando contro la malaria, i pericoli della foresta e la diffidenza dei primati – perché gli scimpanzé si abituino alla presenza dell’intrusa, fino ad accettarla come una di loro. La giovane etologa inizia così ad annotare le abitudini e gli umori del placido David Greybeard, dell’aggressivo McGregor, della matriarca Flo e di tanti altri sorprendenti personaggi del branco, con i quali instaura una vera e propria amicizia. Accolto come uno dei testi fondamentali sul comportamento degli animali, L’ombra dell’uomo è la cronaca di questa avventura senza precedenti, illuminante esempio di come la comprensione e il rispetto per gli animali siano l’unica strada per conoscerli davvero. Ma la ricerca di Jane Goodall ha anche un diverso e non meno importante risvolto: la vita familiare, le gerarchie sociali, il comportamento sessuale, la cura dei piccoli... ogni aspetto della vita quotidiana dei nostri «parenti prossimi» si offre come straordinario termine di confronto con la condizione umana.

''Dr. White'' is the true story of a small dog whose love of sick children has a healing power that conventional care cannot match. This story is a moving illustration of the increasingly popular practice of ''Pet Assisted Therapy'', which can benefit patients of all ages.

An updated, photo-filled account of a half century working with chimpanzees in East Africa by the renowned primatologist. In honor of the field site’s fiftieth anniversary, Jane Goodall: 50 Years at Gombe is a compelling pictorial tribute to Dr. Goodall’s life, her studies of chimpanzee behavior, and her unflagging efforts to motivate people to make this world a better place. With new photographs and updated text throughout, this revised edition retraces five decades of compassion and discovery. Though the book covers a half century, the accomplishments of the past ten years alone have given the Jane Goodall Institute a great deal to celebrate. Recounted are endeavors at the Gombe field site including landmark research related to AIDS progression; establishing programs to improve sanitation, health care, and education in neighboring Tanzanian communities; and partnering with local people to pursue reforestation initiatives.

The answers to these and many other questions are found in this fascinating book. Jane Goodall, one of the world’s foremost naturalists, presents her ANIMAL WORLD series – eight books that explore the wonders of the world’s wildlife.

Dankzij het herstelvermogen van de natuur en de niet klein te krijgen menselijke geest is er nog altijd hoop voor onze wereld en de dieren die daarin leven. Om de haverklap horen we over dieren die op het punt van uitsterven staan, en slecht nieuws over het milieu staat elke dag in de krant. Jane Goodall heeft in dit boek verhalen verzameld die wél goed aflopen, want er zijn mensen die de moed niet opgeven en erin slagen de laatste exemplaren te beschermen, of de soort in gevangenschap te laten voortbestaan. En dat lukt vaker dan we in de krant lezen, zoals Goodall in haar spannende boek laat zien. Er is nog steeds Hoop voor de dierenwereld. De pers over Jane Goodall: ''Jane Goodalls werk met chimpansees is een van de grootste wetenschappelijke prestaties van de Westerse wereld.'' stephen jay gould ''Ze heeft zonder twijfel een van de belangrijkste bijdragen geleverd aan onze kennis van de wereld.'' encyclopedia britannica Jane Goodall is een wereldberoemde primatoloog. Ze ging ooit als secretaresse naar Afrika, maar begon daar al snel aan haar onderzoek over het sociale leven van de chimpansee. Ze was zo goed dat ze een doctoraat van Cambridge kreeg, zonder ooit afgestudeerd te zijn. Ze maakte films, schreef diverse boeken (voor volwassenen en kinderen) en richtte wereldwijd het Jane Goodall Instituut op dat zich richt op de bescherming van zeldzame diersoorten

The renowned British primatologist continues the “engrossing account” of her time among the chimpanzees of Gombe, Tanzania (Publishers Weekly). In her classic, In the Shadow of Man, Jane Goodall wrote of her first ten years at Gombe. In Through a Window she continues the story, painting a more complete and vivid portrait of our closest relatives. On the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Gombe is a community where the principal residents are chimpanzees. Through Goodall’s eyes 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 hers to failure. We witness horrifying murders, touching moments of affection, joyous births, and wrenching deaths. As Goodall compellingly tells the story of this intimately intertwined community, we are shown human emotions stripped to their essence. In the mirror of chimpanzee life, we see ourselves reflected. “A humbling and exalting book . . . Ranks with the great scientific achievements of the twentieth century.” —The Washington Post “[An] absolutely smashing account . . . Thrilling, affectionate, intelligent—a classic.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Jane Goodall est la plus grande spécialiste au monde du comportement des primates et aussi une des scientifiques les plus célèbres. Son plus grand souci est de transmettre aux hommes le respect et la considération pour les animaux, qu''ils soient sauvages ou domestiques. Ce message ne pourrait pas être plus clairement et explicitement transmis qu''a travers l''histoire vraie de Rickie, la jeune femelle chimpanzé, et du chien Henri.

Eindrucksvolles und reich bebildertes Porträt der berühmten britischen Verhaltensforscherin und ihres Lebenswerkes: die Erforschung der im Gombe-Nationalpark wild lebenden Schimpansen.

Focusing on examples of live performance in drama, dance, opera and light entertainment, Jane Goodall explores a characteristic as compelling and enigmatic as the performers who demonstrate it. The mysterious quality of ‘presence’ in a performer has strong resonances with the uncanny. It is associated with primal, animal qualities in human individuals, but also has connotations of divinity and the supernatural, relating to figures of evil as well as heroism. Stage Presence traces these themes through theatrical history. This fascinating study also explores the blend of science and spirituality that accompanies the appreciation of human power. Performers display a magnetism of their audiences; they electrify them, exhibit mesmeric command, and develop chemistry in their communication. Case studies include: Josephine Baker, Sarah Bernhardt, Thomas Betterton, David Bowie, Maria Callas, Bob Dylan, David Garrick, Barry Humphries, Henry Irving, Vaslav Nijinsky and Paul Robeson.

Les ressources naturelles à la base de l''alimentation de l''homme et des animaux sont gravement menacées : déforestation, surexploitation des sols, élevage intensif, pollution des océans. C''est en constatant que ces problèmes sont liés au mode de vie adopté par les grands pays industrialisés que la grande primatologue Jane Goodall a commencé à s''intéresser de près à la nourriture des hommes - une nourriture de plus en plus dénaturée. Face à de tels enjeux, le Dr Jane Goodall propose des réponses immédiates, accessibles à tous. La grande dame des chimpanzés fait ainsi bénéficier le lecteur de ses expériences de scientifique et de fondatrice de l''institut Jane Goodall, qui inscrit son action dans une démarche globale de protection de la biodiversité, d''aide à la gestion durable et équitable des ressources. Au-delà d''une synthèse des grandes questions alimentaires d''aujourd''hui, ce livre engagé propose des éléments concrets aux consommateurs qui veulent se réapproprier la liberté de bien se nourrir.

Detective Briony Williams is a rookie appointed to an all-male team investigating a bizarre murder at the Anatomy School of Gresham College in Bloomsbury, and her superiors constantly make her feel left out. But a killer obsessed with following Jack the Ripper soon changes that. The killer is a practiced anatomist with a theatrical streak. He arranges his victims bodies in cruel parodies of famous satirical engravings by Hogarth, in particular The Reward of Cruelty. He sends a perfectly extracted eye to the police in a Tupperware container, with a defiant message. Meanwhile the killer has begun to track his next victim. He is planning a reunion with the schoolgirl who found the body of his first victim in a train carriage on her way home from boarding school. The story of this girl, Nell Adams, forms the second strand of a brilliantly interwoven plot as she moves to London to start her studies at university and is pursued by the man who becomes known as the Walker. With an unerring eye for detail and a sharp turn of phrase, Jane Goodall creates the exuberant energy and the sense of possibility in these young women and in the Swinging 60s generation as a whole.

When her human guardian goes on a business trip, Ricki, an orphaned chimpanzee infant, adopts Henri, a shaggy dog, as her "mother."

This handbook is being used by the Four Worlds Development Project to eliminate widespread drug and alcohol abuse in tribal communities. It is now being shared for the first time with all members of the human family desiring personal growth."--Publisher''s description.

Dos científicos expertos en el estudio del comportamiento animal, Jane Goodall y Marc Bekoff, nos proponen diez mandamientos que debemos cumplir si verdaderamente estamos preocupados por nuestro planeta. Su punto de partida es una perspectiva espiritual sobre las relaciones entre humanos y animales. Y ello les lleva a defender, de modo apasionado y persuasivo, que, si aplicamos esos mandamientos en nuestra vida cotidiana, la Tierra y todos sus habitantes podrán vivir en completa armonía. El libro desarrolla la idea de que nuestra obligación es vivir en estrecho contacto con los animales –puesto que los humanos formamos parte del reino animal– y nos dice que debemos aprender a conocerlos y entenderlos para poder protegerlos y evitar su extinción. El tema central de los mandamientos es la importancia y el valor que tiene cualquier animal como individuo, con su propia personalidad e idiosincrasia, algo sobre lo que ambos autores vienen escribiendo desde hace años. La conclusión es que se trata de diez mandamientos simples y a la vez profundos, pues, además de ayudarnos a reflexionar sobre nuestra forma de vivir en el planeta y mostrarnos cuáles son nuestras responsabilidades como “gestores” del mundo natural, nos enseñan algo todavía más importante: cómo respetar cualquier forma de vida.

Jane Goodall reveals the ways in which the major themes of evolution were taken up in the performing arts during Darwin''s adult lifetime and in the generation after his death.

As a child, Jane Goodall dreamed of living with the wild animals of Africa. As a young woman, she amazed the world with her groundbreaking discoveries about chimpanzees, which she documented in her acclaimed National Geographic television specials. Ever since, Dr. Goodall has campaigned unceasingly for the protection of the chimpanzee u00ad now an endangered species. This moving, personal account will inspire readers of all ages to join in her vital work.
