Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Slight foxing to edge. Wear and tear to edges of D/J. This is a report from the frontier between man and monkey, its author the guardian of a border post where the two species of primate can meet, communicate and exchange experiences. The author has established a colony of wooly monkeys on his wooded estate in Cornwall, basing its organisation on his belief that animals can be studied profitably only when they are living naturally. He refuses to shut them up in cages and treat them as Laboratory speciments, and he equally rejects the opposite mistake, that of keeping them as pets. In his monkey colony (and any woolly monkey who doesn't live in a colony is barely living) the animals have been free to establish their own territory and their own social order of rank. Not only do they flouish and breed, which they have not hitherto done outside their native South America, but they behave entirely naturally between themselves thus allowing observations of tremendous value. Mr. Williams decribes how his monkeys communicate, how they educate each other, how they mate and rear children, how they avoid friction, how they deal with danger.the whole pattern of their lives. What he has to say is the result of new knowledge and new insight. mr. Williams reaches the conclusion that modern man has lost touch with his natural heritage in the prehistoric community. Illustrated. 203 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.).
