Inhaltsangabe:
From the biographer of Jane Goodall comes an eccentric blend of travels and adventures based on the underlying story of two men, sometime friends and allies, who uncover through personal experience the tragedy of animal extinctions in Africa and Asia. By turns ironic, funny, and tender, it contemplates changing landscapes and a vanishing world.Over the last fifteen years, nature historian Dale Peterson has collaborated with photographer Karl Ammann to produce three books about apes, elephants, and giraffes. For this new memoir, Peterson recounts his travels with the iconoclastic Swiss photographer through Africa and Southeast Asia, serving as his Boswell and discovering along the way magnificent splendor, unexpected humor, and tragic loss.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Dale Peterson transitioned early in his writing career from publishing books on computers to studying and writing about highly intelligent animal species, focusing on primates. His book The Deluge and the Ark: A Journey into Primate Worlds attracted the attention of Dr. Jane Goodall, with whom he collaborated to produce Visions of Caliban: On Chimpanzees and People. Peterson has received numerous awards including New York Times Notable Book of the Year in 1993 and 2006. Peterson lectures part time at Tufts University and was just elected president of PEN New England. He was instrumental in establishing PEN's Thoreau award, promoting nature writing and writers. Peterson lives in Arlington, Massachusetts.
