Book Description Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Slight wear, tear and repair to edges of D/J. Front inside cover page clipped. Foreword by Jane Goodall. On a cold January day, the author set off on a journey in search of endangered primates, determined to see them in their own worlds befor they disappear. He went deep into Sumatra to see the gibbon, the 'child of the forest', and waited in darkness for the rare aye-aye in Madagascar's devastated jungles. In order to understand what is happening to the pirmates Peterson also had to explain what is happening to the world's water, wood, health and people. His description of 'the deluge', the uncontrolled logging, mining and farming that threatens people and primates alike, is written with incredible clarity and force. So is his plea for an alternative, an extension of the tiny 'arks' that can preserve our closes animal relatives while helping us out of our terrible ecological predicament. This book is an adventure story, the take of a crazy search across three continents for these beautiful animals. it is also a journey to most of the world's threated forests; and ecological report on the third, and an indictment of the developed world: and a good writer's book about nature and modern civilization. Above all, it is a great read, and impossible to forget. Illustrated. 378 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
