Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newman brings a lifetime of study to this exploration of the varied interaction between gorillas and humans. Tragically, most gorillas are now endangered, and those in zoos and sanctuaries now lead much more secure lives. This compelling book helps us understand how our image of gorillas has been distorted and clarified through culture and science and how we now control the destiny of these magnificent apes.
