This has tobe the best book about orangutans ever written. Please don't just look at the amazing photos (some of them will break your heart), but read the text - every word - it will for ever change your perception of these wonderful apes. As it says in the foreword, orangutans are too good for this world. It's up to us to make sure they always remain a part of it!

A wonderful and poignant book that stays in the mind long after you put it down. Harsh realities and heartbreaking truths are disclosed as the authors refuse to shy away from exposing the cruelties orangutans suffer at human hands. The stunning photos also prove that researchers have only just begun to scratch the surface when it comes to unravelling the complex character of this incredibly intelligent and gentle great ape as it fights for survival.

The best book on orangutans
|
An outstanding book with more superb photos than any other
on this subject. Besides the photos it's coverage of related issues is the most comprehensive you will ever read; thankfully the whole book is written in a journalistic rather than scientific style.
