Aprašymas

For decades, New York Times best-selling author and world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal studied monkeys and apes in zoos, research parks, and field settings. Culled from the thousands of photographs de Waal took across a thirty-year period, My Family Album showcases the rich social life of bonobos, chimpanzees, capuchin monkeys, baboons, and macaques. From parent-child bonds to territorial conflicts and romantic entanglements, the images capture the subtle gestures, expressions, and movements of natural communication with an intimate knowledge that eludes most nature photographers and casual observers of our primate family. De Waal's extended captions discuss each photograph and offer descriptions that range from colorful impressions to sharp professional interpretation, resulting in an intensely moving and personal view of our closest animal relatives. With a new foreword by Carl Safina, this new edition is a richly evocative album for animal lovers everywhere.
