First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: USED_VERYGOOD. 1st Edition. 112 pages with photographs by Michael Nichols, map and bibliography. Folio (12" x 9") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. As one observer whispered after first catching sight of a gorilla, ``Surely, God, they are my kin.'' Readers will echo him after glimpsing the animal's sage, mysterious mien and its moods, wonderfully suggested in this book. Imperious or impish, unruly or reflective, physically massive yet ecologically delicate, African mountain gorillas, the victims of poachers, politicians, zoos and agriculture, number only a few hundred. But, thanks to the efforts of the late Dian Fossey and other gorilla conservationists, the future looks rosier. Their story is told here by eminent scientist and American Book Award-winner ( The Serengeti Lion ) Schallerfrom the ``hellish dream creature'' first feared by Westerners, to the creature now known for its grace under pressure. Spectacular color reproductions seem to put the animal in our immediate presence; the broad scope of Magnum photographer Nichols's camera includes the gorilla's human neighbors in Rwanda, Uganda and Zaire. Condition: Edge wear, tear to front heal hinge, corner bumped else a very good.

Condition: NEW. Idioma/Language: Español. Los gorilas de montaña se consideraron feroces monstruos hasta que George B. Schaller desveló su delicadeza y su proximidad. A su estela, Dian Fossey les consagró la vida. Schaller les dedica un capítulo de este libro, como a otras bestias de las que ha desentrañado secretos. A Schaller, el trabajo de campo le ha supuesto vivir en cobijos precarios, adentrarse por territorios vírgenes, aguantar esperas bochornosas o glaciales. Semanas en un escondite para fotografiar tigres, noches bajo la guarida del leopardo de las nieves, caminatas por Laos tras mamíferos desconocidos, heladas navidades en los bosques del oso panda, permiten vislumbrar la biografía nómada de Schaller. Su su resistencia y tesón, quedaron patentes en el libro de Peter Matthiessen El leopardo de las nieves. Tras cincuenta años en activo, George B. Schaller mantiene su compromiso ecologista, su clarividencia y su capacidad para maravillarse. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
