About the Author:

Bob Campbell (photographer) first went to Karisoke in 1968. Employed by National Geographic he spent nearly four years making a visual journal of Dian Fossey's work. After years of gradual habituation, the gorillas finally accepted him into their group, enabling him to capture the unique images presented in this book.

Camilla de la B�doy�re (author) has lived and taught in Kenya, and has written books on natural history, examining life on Earth and the ethical questions posed by our relationship with its other inhabitants.
