Good gift. George Beals Schaller (born 1933 Berlin, Germany) is a mammalogist, naturalist, conservationist and author, and is recognized by many as the world's preeminent field biologist, studying wildlife throughout Africa, Asia and South America. Growing up in Germany, Schaller moved to Missouri as a teen. He is now the director for science for the Bronx Zoo-based Wildlife Conservation Society. 1959: "Year of the Gorilla" Schaller is perhaps best known for his landmark field research, begun in 1959, on the mountain gorillas (Gorilla gorilla beringe) of the Virunga Volcanoes in Central Africa. Little was known about the life of gorillas in the wild until the publication of The Mountain Gorilla: Ecology and Behavior in 1963 that first revealed to the general public just how profoundly intelligent and gentle gorillas really are, contrary to then-common beliefs. Schaller has more recently recounted his epic two year study in The Year of the Gorilla, which also provides a broader historical perspective on the efforts to save one of mankind's nearest relatives from the brink of extinction. The famed American zoologist, Dian Fossey, with assistance from the National Geographic and Louis Leakey, followed Schaller's groundbreaking field research on mountain gorillas in the Virungas. Schaller and Fossey were instrumental in dispelling the public perception of gorillas as brutes, by demonstrably establishing the deep compassion and social intelligence evident among gorillas, and how very closely their behavior parallels that of humans. "No one who looks into a gorilla's eyes - intelligent, gentle, vulnerable - can remain unchanged, for the gap between ape and human vanishes; we know that the gorilla still lives within us. Do gorillas also recognize this ancient connection?" Schaller later mused, when interviewed by National Geographic. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Association copy, signed by Schaller on the title page and belonging to noted naturalist and primatologist Charles Southwick, former chair of the biology department at Colorado University, with his ownership signature and below it "personal copy." Schaller's first book, and the first book to show the general public the great intelligence of gorillas. Ex-library, with a stamp from the Library of Comparative Behavior at John Hopkins University (where Southwick previously taught). Very good book with bumps to a few corners and a little squiggle on the FFEP and on the dedication page (dedicated to Olaus Murie) in red pen that seem like they were made by a child. Some library tape residue to top of the front board. Price-clipped jacket is good/very good with several prominent chips, one atop each panel and on the spine. Tape repairs to rear panel. An uncommon signature and nice association between prominent ecologists and men who studied great apes. Schaller won the National Book Award in Science for *The Serengeti Lion*, and is of course a ethological legend (one thinks of his journey with Peter Matthiessen in The Snow Leopard, which also won a National Book Award). // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in nature writing and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.
