Review: Good read - I am enjoying it very much.
Review: Book in overall very good condition. - Service was good. Book in very good condition w/o underlines/notes, etc. Would have been nice to wipe the soup/coffee stains off the cover before shipping, though. BOOK: Interesting and informative; covers Goodall's initial forays into African chimp studies. I'd read it long ago but still found it intriguing. Jane writes well and the book is suitable for ages 14 and up. (Aside-National Geographic did a 1-hour documentary years ago that shows films of many of the anecdotes found in the book. I highly recommend it.....if you can find it. It's one of those "old-fashioned" nature films that features the animals instead of the humans. A rarity these days.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Have Read Better...But Still Wonderful
*by R***A on June 13, 2016*

To be sure, much of the ethological and biological information to be found within the text is dated, given the rapid advances of the natural sciences today; nevertheless, Professor Goodall's book is both articulate and provocative to the attentive reader, remaining as prescient today as it was when it was first published. Personally, I decided to purchase 'In the Shadow of Man' after reading R. Fouts's book 'Next of Kin' -- from a purely aesthetic perspective, the two were equally matched; however, on a personal (i.e. inter- and intrasubjective) level, I preferred Fouts's book. Despite this, 'In the Shadow of Man' is a text which I found to be well worth reading. Whether you are a student of theology and philosophy (like myself); ethology and biology; anthropology and sociology; or, perhaps you are simply interested in some light summer reading, the text is both personal and accessible. Perhaps the greatest delights any reader will discover when they open this book are: the indomitable potential they themselves have bottled-up within their own heart; the profundity of insights to be gleaned from the active study of our closest living evolutionary relatives; and the power Professor Goodall's experiences have to shape and change how we humans view ourselves within such a vast and diverse cosmos as the one in which we find ourselves. While there are numerous texts (such as the aforementioned 'Next of Kin') which tell a similar story to that of 'In the Shadow of Man', Professor Goodall's experiences, and how she shares them to this day, are imminently unique. As with those other texts, 'In the Shadow of Man', if nothing else, will serve to foster the "adequate anthropology" Pope Francis called for in his encyclical 'Laudato si' ', and thereby our species may yet learn how we are to live in the cosmos when we finally prescind from axio-ontic, and subsequent ethical, anthropocentrism.
