This book focuses primarily on their minds, and is based on ten years of research that the author and scientist Anne E. Russon has undertaken studying Orangutan behaviour. The tragedy is that they are now near extinction. They survive in freedom only on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, where human influx is rapidly appropriating their habitat. With over 100 colour photographs taken by the author during her visits to the rain forests, this is a rare, insider's look at the complex and unusual world of Orangutans.* A FINE text copy of the 1st/1st fnl. with no visible faults in a VG protected dust jacket.* 1999-12-01. n.
