No markings inner pages, spine intact, no creases. "In the summer of 1935, during her first visit to East Africa, Mary Leakey, then just 22 years old, drove down the rocky flank of Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania and found herself gazing spellbound at a view that was to come to mean more to her than any other in the world." Good Reads "Mary Douglas Nicol Leakey was a British archaeologist and anthropologist, who discovered the first fossilized Proconsul skull, an extinct ape now believed to be ancestral to humans, and also discovered the robust Zinjanthropus skull at Olduvai Gorge. For much of her career she worked together with her husband, Louis Leakey, in Olduvai Gorge, uncovering the tools and fossils of ancient hominines. She developed a system for classifying the stone tools found at Olduvai. She also discovered the Laetoli footprints. In 1960 she became director of excavation at Olduvai and subsequently took it over, building her own staff. After the death of her husband she became a leading palaeoanthropologist, helping to establish the Leakey tradition by training her son, Richard, in the field." Good Reads .

Book Description Illustrated (illustrator). 8vo; original blue boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 224, incl. index; plates; map. Dustwrapper sunned on spine panel; trace of spotting to edges and endpapers. Very good condition. "In the summer of 1935, during her first visit to East Africa, Mary Leakey, then just 22 years old, drove down the rocky flank of Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania and found herself gazing spellbound at a view that was to come to mean more to her than any other in the world. That view was the vast Serengeti Plain, 'stretching away to the horizon like the sea . always the same, yet always different'. Perhaps that was the moment when Africa took its hold on her, for despite journeys to many parts of the world, the gullies and stream-beds, cliffs and hillsides of this ancient landscape were to be her home for nearly half a century. Here, with her husband Louis, and for many years after his death in 1972, she was to be involved in some of the most important and dramatic finds ever to shake the world of prehistoric archaeology.".
