Primates The Fearless Science of Jane Goodall Dian Fossey and Biruté Galdikas Jim Ottaviani Maris Wicks Books

The surprising and groundbreaking stories of the three greatest primatologists: Goodall/chimpanzees, Fossey/gorillas and Galdikas/orangutans, is told in graphic novel form. The author illustrator team based their work on extensive study of the scientists’ lives and work but fictionalized some dialogue and compressed events producing a vivid story that conveys the spirit of the women, the tenor of their times, the difficulty of their living conditions and the quality of their discoveries.
Wicks clean, engaging, Herge-like drawings bring humor and clarity: illuminating the character of the individuals, their study subjects and their intertwined relationships. Sequenced panels adeptly convey the ape behavior the women observed and comically represent their less than decorous reactions. The book entertains but does not pander: Leakey’s womanizing is alluded to, marriages fail and readers must use observational skills to get the most from the story. Fossey's death is referred to, but her murder is not mentioned. Lively and humorous yet respectful, Primates piques interest in three inspiring lives but does not attempt to answer all questions or convey the full scope of the women's discoveries. An Afterword and Bibliography point the way to more information.

Primates The Fearless Science of Jane Goodall Dian Fossey and Biruté Galdikas Jim Ottaviani Maris Wicks Books Reviews

Wonderful book which I hope will inspire young women to become primatologists and explorers. These three women deserve several books to sing their praises. I did not know until reading this that they were all the students of Richard Leakey. Students will learn all about the lives of these women and as a graphic non-fiction, will be suitably entertained. I also think this will inspire students to do further reading about Fossey, Galdikas, and Goodall.
The book presents interesting vignettes about how these three women got involved in primate science and the hard-won insights they provided to all of us. It never gets bogged down in the details and is a quick, light read. I passed it along to my 12-year old daughter and she also enjoyed it.
A very cute and simple account of 3 women's science stories. I am a science teacher, and keep it in my room for students to read when they have extra time.
This is a wonderful book that takes the reader into the world of these larger than life primatologists that have changed how we view the great apes. The drawings add to the stories,bringing forth the world and challenges of studying chimps,gorillas and orangutans. This is a book i will read and reread again and again. Anyone who is a fan of Jane Goodall,Dian Fossy and Birute Gallikas will enjoy this journey into the world of the great apes. This is also a creative graphic novel, a form of reading that may appeal to younger people and encourage them to enter the field of primatology.
The lives of Louis Leakey's three angels are woven together into a beautiful web that illustrates the relationships between the people and their work. A recommended read for anyone who has ever wondered what it might be like to explore the world and its creatures.
Astonishing that so many people used so many words to describe this book. If you didn't grow up in the period it describes, I suppose you might find it puzzling (one reviewer certainly did), but for those of us who saw these events and followed the work of these women as it happened, all that pedantry is beside the point. Buy it, read it, and hand it on to your kids. If it makes one in a hundred thousand want to "do science" (as the phrase goes these days) this way, it's served all of us primates well.
Originally ordered to be a book for "summer reading", I enjoyed this book but was a bit disappointed about how it glossed over some of the controversial and hard topics that these women had to face while doing research on chimps, gorillas, and orangutans. While the book is intended for younger and less-developed readers, it would have been nice if it alluded to those issues or had suggestions for further reading about each of these very important researchers.
