Jane Goodall has long been one of my role models, as a scientist and a human being. Her letters ("precious caches, the closest thing to perfect memory". -ed.)are interspersed with commentary that links them to stages in her life, from a young girl in 1942 to her first fieldwork in 1966. Here are Flo, Flint, Melissa, Hugo and all the other chimpanzees of "her" troupe. Great reading!
