Africa in My Blood: An Autobiography in Letters: The Early Years Paperback - 2001
by Jane Goodall
A collection of anthropologist Goodall's letters from her early years reveals the person only her friends and family knew until now. Here is the girl who punts at Oxford, who journeys to Africa for the first time, and blooms into one of the most honored scientists of our time. Photos.
Summary
AFRICA IN MY BLOOD is an extraordinary self-portrait, in letters and commentary, of Jane Goodall's early years, from childhood to the landmark publication of IN THE SHADOW OF MAN. It reveals this remarkable woman more vividly and clearly than anything that has been published before, by her or about her. We see Goodall grow from a schoolgirl into the promising young candidate whom the legendary Louis Leakey sent to a wildlife preserve on the shores of Lake Tanganyika to undertake a revolutionary study of chimpanzees. At Gombe we see her immerse herself in the lives of wild animals as no one had done before. AFRICA IN MY BLOOD is a dramatic, moving, funny, and important book that tells the story of how an English girl who loved animals became one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century.
