From the personal to the primate, Sy Montgomery - acclaimed author of The Soul of an Octopus and The Good Good Pig - explores the science, wisdom, and living experience of three of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century.Jane grooming David Greybeard, the first chimp to lose his fear of her. Their combined accomplishments have been mind-blowing, as Goodall, Fossey, and Galdikas forever changed how we think of our closest evolutionary relatives, of ourselves, and of how to conduct good science. All three began their work as protégées of the great Anglo-African archeologist Louis Leakey, and each spent years in the field, allowing the apes to become their familiars - and ultimately waging battles to save them from extinction in the wild. Jane Goodall has worked with the chimpanzees of Gombe for nearly 50 years Dian Fossey died in 1985 defending the mountain gorillas of Rwanda and Biruté Galdikas lives in intimate proximity to the orangutans of Borneo. In the 20th century, three astounding women scientists penetrated the jungles of Africa and Borneo to observe, nurture, and defend humanity's closest cousins.
