Sinopsis:
In a richly illustrated narrative, a distinguished biological anthropologist introduces the colorful characters and complex lives of the orangutans who inhabit the rapidly vanishing forests of Sumatra.
Críticas: This book is a fascinating journey through the vanishing swamp forests of Indonesia, in pursuit of orangutans and the clues these apes hold about our own cultural origins. In this expertly told tale, exquisite details of orangutan lifestyles sparkle against the stark realities of habitat loss that now threaten the orangutan's survival. While leading this scientific odyssey into the human-nonhuman continuum, van Schaik also makes a compelling case for why we should care about the conservation of orangutans and what we will lose if they are lost to extinction.--Karen B. Strier, Professor, Department Of Anthropology, University Of Wisconsin-Madison
