Description
"In Gorillas among Us, Prince-Hughes has compressed years of gorilla observation into a composite diary chronicling the days of one gorilla family. She creates a blended portrait of both peoples - gorilla and human. The entries capture significant observations, which often prompt brief discussions of gorillas' captivity, diet, communication, aesthetic preferences, social behavior, and play. Several chapters end with thought-provoking meditations on human values.
Description
The final section, "More about Gorillas," provides a concise, accessible introduction to gorilla natural history.".
Description
"By turns opinionated and descriptive, quirky and authoritative, Prince-Hughes draws us into the family life of captive gorillas and into a consideration of our own culture. Readers will learn something new about gorillas - and themselves - on every page of this poignant story. The book testifies to the potential for interspecies compassion and the love that one person can find in a family of gorillas."--BOOK JACKET.
