For more than 25 years, renowned primatologist Birut Galdikas has lived among the orangutans of Borneo, studying their habits, defending them against loggers and poachers, and nurturing their orphaned youngsters. Now, with this extraordinary pictorial essay, Galdikas brings to life her work with these shy and endangered red apes. Taking readers to her remote rainforest headquarters, Galdikas draws on Karl Ammann's unparalleled photographs to present intimate portraits of the individual orangutans she's come to know and offers rare glimpses of their behavior in the wild. With an introduction by famed chimpanzee researcher Jane Goodall-who, like Galdikas and Dian Fossey, is a Louis Leakey protge-this is a superb and revelatory volume for nature and animal lovers everywhere. 100 photographs in full color, 1 map, 10 11/4 x 10 11/4" BIRUT M. F. GALDIKAS, who received her Ph.D. from UCLA, teaches at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, and at Indonesia's Universi tas Nasional. She is president of the Orangutan Foundation International in Los Angeles. NANCY BRIGGS, who has long worked with Galdikas in both Los Angeles and Borneo, is professor of communications at California State University, Long Beach, and director of education at the Orangutan Foundation International. Karl Ammann is an award-winning wildlife photographer based in Kenya.
