Beschreibung

For decades, The New York Times best-selling author and world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal studied monkeys and apes. Culled from the thousands of photographs taken over a thirty year period, My Family Album showcases the rich social life of bonobos, chimpanzees, capuchin monkeys, baboons and macaques. From parent-child bonds to territorial conflicts and romantic entanglements, the images capture the subtle gestures, expressions and movements of natural communication with an intimate knowledge that eludes most nature photographers and casual observers of our primate family. De Waal's captions offer descriptions that range from colourful impressions to sharp professional interpretation, resulting in an intensely moving and personal view of our closest animal relatives. This new edition is a richly evocative album for animal lovers everywhere.

Frans de Waal's Different (9781324050360) was praised as:

  • "Dive into Frans de Waal's magnum opus.... brilliant." - Carol Tavris, The Times Literary Supplement
  • "Entrancing... Different is worth reading for its anecdotes alone." - Laura Spinney, The Guardian
  • "The beauty of a book by Frans de Waal is that once you read it, you'll never look at your own species the same way again." - Tamra Mendelson, The Washington Post
