A Remarkable Woman's Thirteen-Year Adventure in Remote African Rain Forests with the Greatest of the Great
Apes
Synopsis: "One of the most important
books ever written about our connection to the natural world, Gorillas in the Mist is the riveting

Fossey's extraordinary efforts to ensure the future of the rain forest and its remaining mountain gorillas
are captured in her own words and in candid photographs of this fascinating endangered species. As only she
could, Fossey combined her personal adventure story with groundbreaking scientific reporting in an
unforgettable portrait of one of our closest primate relatives. Although Fossey's work ended tragically in
her murder, Gorillas in the Mist remains an invaluable testament to one of the longest-running
field studies of primates and reveals her undying passion for her subject."

Synopsis: "When Fritz Walther was a
young boy growing up in Dresden, his grandfather took him to the zoo, where he immediately fell in love with
gazelles and dreamed of going to Africa to study them. He finally realized this dream in the 1960s, when he
began a series of research field trips in the Serengeti National Park.
His work led to numerous important studies in animal behavior and communication, especially on Thomson's and
Grant's gazelles. Now, almost thirty years after his field research, Walther gives us a memoir of his
experiences - the challenges, problems, and romance of studying animals on the Serengeti at a time when
it was still one of the great wild areas of the world. This is a book for everyone who loves nature, cares
about the environment, and wants to learn how a dedicated scientist unlocks the secrets of animal
behavior."

In the Kingdom of Gorillas Fragile Species in a
Dangerous Land
Klappentext: "In 1978, when Bill
Weber and Amy Vedder arrived in Rwanda to study mountain gorillas with Dian Fossey, the gorilla population
was teetering toward extinction. Poaching was rampant, but it was loss of habitat that most endangered the
gorillas. When yet another slice of the Parc des Volcans in the Virunga Mountains was targeted for
development, Weber and Vedder recognized that the gorillas were doomed unless something was done to save
their land. Over Fossey's objections, they helped found the Mountain Gorilla Project. The MGP was designed
to educate Rwandans about the gorillas and about the importance of conservation, while at the same time
establishing an ecotourism project - one of the first anywhere in a rainforest - to bring desperately needed
revenue to Rwanda. Weber and Vedder realized that Rwandans were bearing the full cost of saving the gorillas
while receiving none of the benefit; the MGP would change that formula and help to meet local people's
needs. In the Kingdom of Gorillas introduces readers to the world of mountain gorillas. Through the
authors we come to know entire families of gorillas, from powerful silverback patriarchs, who fiercely
protect their territory and their families, to helpless newborn infants, cradled in their mother's embrace.
Weber and Vedder take us with them as they slog through the rain-soaked mountain forests, observing the
gorillas at rest and at play, eating, grooming, and preparing their nightly nests. They tell us about the
gorillas they recognized and came to know as individuals, stories both tragic and joyful. They describe a
landscape that was heaven one day, green hell the next. And they tell of their discovery of the terrible and
mysterious events surrounding Fossey's murder. When the authors first arrived in Rwanda, European
expatriates called it 'the Switzerland of Africa', a name that referred not only to its high mountains and
rugged beauty but also to Rwanda's relative political and economic stability. Most outsiders knew the
country only for its endangered gorillas, but Rwanda was a nation in danger, too. In the 1980s Weber and
Vedder expanded their conservation work in Rwanda to include other forest reserves, learning more about the
country, its people, and its increasingly turbulent politics. When a simmering civil war exploded into
genocide in 1994, Weber and Vedder were in the U.S., unable to contact their many friends and colleagues
trapped in the horrendous bloodbath. Later they would hear tales of brutality but also of heroism, including
stories of park workers who hid their countrymen to protect them from slaughter. Others continued to work in
the face of danger and without pay for nearly a year. Ironically, throughout the genocide and the subsequent
conflict, the Virunga homeland of the gorillas was scarcely touched. Today the population of mountain
gorillas is the highest it has been since the 1960s, and there is new hope for the species' fragile future
even as the people of Rwanda strive to overcome their ethnic differences. Rich with details about the
gorillas' lives, the realities of conservation, and portraits of ordinary people caught in extraordinary
times, this is a riveting adventure story that is sure to take its place among the classic accounts of the
world of nature."
