Product Description
When Louis Leakey first heard about Jane Goodall's discovery
that chimps fashion and use tools, he sent her a telegram:
"Now we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees
as human."

But when Goodall first presented her discoveries at a scientific
conference, she was ridiculed by the powerful chairman, who warned
one of his distinguished colleagues not to be misled by her "glamour."
She was too young, too blond, too pretty to be a serious scientist, and
worse yet, she still had virtually no formal scientific training. She had
been a secretarial school graduate whom Leakey had sent out to study
chimps only when he couldn't find anyone better qualified to take the
job. And he couldn't tell her what to do once she was in the field—
nobody could—because no one before had made such an intensive
and long-term study of wild apes.

Dale Peterson shows clearly and convincingly how truly remarkable
Goodall's accomplishments were and how unlikely it is that
anyone else could have duplicated them. Peterson details not only how
Jane Goodall revolutionized the study of primates, our closest relatives,
but how she helped set radically new standards and a new intellectual
style in the study of animal behavior. And he reveals the very private
quest that led to another sharp turn in her life, from scientist to activist.

BookStore - Another common type of bookstore is the used bookstore or second-hand bookshop which sells used and out-of-print books. A range of titles are available in used bookstores, including in print and out of print books. Book collectors tend to frequent used book stores. Large online bookstores offer used books for sale, too. Individuals wishing to sell their used books using online bookstores agree to terms outlined by the bookstore(s): for example, paying the online bookstore(s) a predetermined commission once the books have sold. Bookstores can range in size offering from several hundred to several hundred thousands of books. They may be brick-and-mortar stores or internet only stores or a combination of both. Sizes for the larger bookstores exceed half a million titles. Bookstores often sell other printed matter besides books, such as newspapers; additional product lines may vary enormously, particularly among independent bookstores. Colleges and universities often have their own student bookstore on campus that focuses on providing course textbooks and scholarly books, although some on-campus bookstores are owned by large chains.
