Six days later, her body was found floating in a pool at the base of a high waterfall. With careful detail, \u003ci\u003eThe Ghosts of Gombe\u003c\/i\u003e reveals for the first time the full story of day-to-day life in Goodall's wilderness camp--the people and the animals, the stresses and excitements, the social conflicts and cultural alignments, and the astonishing friendships that developed between three of the researchers and some of the chimpanzees--during the months preceding that tragic event. Was Ruth's death an accident? Did she jump? Was she pushed? In an extended act of literary forensics, Goodall biographer Dale Peterson examines how Ruth's death might have happened and explores some of the painful sequelae that haunted two of the survivors for the rest of their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dale Peterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520297715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDale Peterson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author or editor of twenty books, including \u003ci\u003eJane Goodall: The Woman Who Redefined Man\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDemonic Males: Apes and the Origins\u003c\/i\u003e of \u003ci\u003eHuman Violence\u003c\/i\u003e (coauthored with Richard Wrangham), \u003ci\u003eThe Moral Lives of Animals\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eEating Apes\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40012028313715,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_499dc6f1-a628-4370-8a3a-ebc80f0047c3.jpg?v=1650491624","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-ghosts-of-gombe-a-true-story-of-love-and-death-in-an-african-wilderness-9780520297715","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
