Publisher's Note
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.
Industry reviews
"Goodall's writing is humorous and animated." New York Times - Christine Kenneally (01/07/2001)
"AFRICA IN MY BLOOD is an immediate link into her [Goodall's] life. It is at turns funny, sad, heart warming and powerful. The book is a remarkably strong collection from a woman well worth remarking.' January Magazine - Shipley (04/01/2000)
"A consummate correspondent, Goodall reveals her delight in her work whether she's girlishly excited...or reveling in her achievements...." Entertainment Weekly - Daneet Steffens
