Face to face with gorillas av Michael Nichols
Nichols speaks to readers through 1st person narrative about his experiences with gorillas. Along the way he shares facts and details, occasionally nudging the agenda of conservation and protection. Touches on the gorilla-human common ancestor theory. Many large photos throughout, helpful captions. Includes Facts at a Glance, Glossary, Index, list of additional resources, and Research & Photographic notes.

The text, by the equally renowned Geoffrey Ward, is somewhat rudimentary, but does present a world map with tiger habitats color-washed, and there is summarized information on the status of the tiger in some of the other tiger-range countries apart from India, which is the focus. The highlight is undoubtedly the glimpses of the intimate family life of Sita, the large-hearted mother in Bandhavgarh, and her cubs, which bring out the beauty, controlled strength, loyalty, courage, and pathos of the situation this noble animal is in today because of the greed and callousness of humans.… (mer)
Ook van Michael Nichols had ik nog nooit gehoord. Een beknopt overzicht van een fotograaf die vooral bekend is geworden door foto's gemaakt in grotten en foto's van de jungle.
