About this title

Synopsis

A second volume of letters by the renowned scientist chronicles her greatest trials and tribulations, from making startling discoveries about chimpanzee behavior and the birth of her son Grub to her marriage to Derek Bryceson and and her mission to stop chimpanzees from being injected with HIV, which forced her to evolve from a private observer to a public crusader. 25,000 first printing.
