Recenzii
The outstanding, beautiful book describes the great apes and the manner in which humans interact with them. The biology, ecology, and sociology of these animals are covered expertly with excellent full-color photography. I recommend this book for any school library... This book is easy to read and engaging, with many illustrations and diagrams as well as great photos. It provides a balanced perspective on these animals and is highly recommended. Gr 6-College--Claudia Fetters"National Science Teachers Association Recommends" (12/07/2009)
This is a fantastic book. One cannot imagine a better one on this topic. It is gorgeous enough to sit on a coffee table, yet informative enough for the reference section of a library. Wonderful photos illustrate page upon page of facts and thoughts and ideas. And in the true tradition of a book by Morris, you not only learn about the subject at hand, you are also pushed to think independently about what all these facts might mean. The information is shared in a thoughtful, intelligent way and, without even realizing it, we end up learning as much about ourselves as we do about the apes Morris obviously has a very real affection for. A portion of the profits generated by Planet Ape are earmarked for charities who are working to conserve the apes Morris and co-author Parker deliver to us so vividly. Once you've experienced Planet Ape, you'll understand just how important that is.--Linda L. Richards"January Magazine" (12/16/2009)
