    Not quite a curate's egg

Before reading this, you should first read Jane's two vols of letters. They give a wonderful precise picture of just who she is - not the cool serene creature so often portrayed, but a vibrant bright young thing with an eye for a fella and a dedication beyond belief. Re this biog: 2 negative comments first - the approximately first third of the book, dealing with her young life is full of such trifling minutiae that a bit of editing would have reduced the book size by at least 100 pages - i.e. what the family had for dinner on a particular day, what "frock" she wore etc etc - these add very little to the overall picture which is vivid enough without all that. Second negative: with all the THOUSANDS of photographs that must be available, this book and the two vols of letters have so many repeated photographs it's not true. Why??Those two groans apart, this is an absorbing biog, verging on hagiography however. No one is THAT perfect! Didn't stop me reading it at every free moment though. I do prefer the two vols of letters, although this one will always remain in the library.As someone else said, it's about time JG was awarded a Nobel Prize, either for Science or Peace. In both spheres she is outstanding and a mere Dame of the British Empire is not enough!

    A truly great book!
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2008*

The fact that not only Dr Jane Goodall, but also her family, friends and colleagues gave full cooperation to Dale Peterson in his authorship of this masterful biography, makes this heavily detailed work quite definitive (aside from, or read in addition to, those works written by Goodall herself), and a treat for those interested in her life and work. Dr Goodall's buoyant personality, enthusiasm, and dedication are rendered so clearly, especially in the descriptions of Jane's activism on behalf of chimpanzees, humans and the environment alike, that one cannot help but like her and feel impelled to action.While remaining respectfully, appropriately, discreet (especially in describing her relationships with her first and second husbands), the personal details that are given are perfectly sufficient to understand how they shaped her life's course. Dr Goodall is, after all, very much a living, breathing person and therefore entitled to as much privacy as her celebrity will allow. Any more detail or airing of dirty laundry (if it existed) would have been tactless at worst and unnecessary at best. In all other areas - personal and professional - the details abound. However, I never considered such generosity of detail to be overwhelming or superfluous. It all served to create incredibly lucid impressions and pictures, and aided in understanding the subject all the better.I have been reading about Jane Goodall and her work for many years and found all of the previously undisclosed information in this biography - her family history; the extent of the early financial difficulties in establishing and maintaining the Gombe Stream Research Centre; details about the kidnapping of the Gombe students in 1975, and the resulting ransom situation - all utterly fascinating. Upon finishing the last page of this excellent biography I was left feeling an even greater fondness for Dr Goodall than I had previously experienced by reading her many books and watching her television specials.I also highly recommend Dr Goodall's "In the Shadow of Man"; "The Chimpanzees of Gombe: Patterns of Behavior" (if you can track down a copy!); and "Through a Window: My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe". In addition, I greatly enjoyed the two editions of Jane Goodall's autobiography in letters, edited and with chapter introductions by Dale Peterson: "Africa in my Blood" and "Beyond Innocence".
