Title
A Dark Place in the Jungle: Following Leakey's Last Angel into Borneo,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Birute Galdikas, along with Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall, form the famed trio of angels Louis Leakey trained to study great apes in the wild. While Fossey studied the gorilla and Goodall the chimpanzee, Galdikas went to Borneo to study the orangutan and, decades later, emerged as a complicated figure, embroiled in scandal. Spaldings quest to know this woman takes her from the offices of Galdikass foundation in Los Angeles to the Sekonyer River in Borneo, where she discovers a beguiling cast of characters. A host of foreign scientists, government workers, tourists, loggers, descendants of the Dayak headhunters, Javanese gold miners, and halftame orangutans all vie for control of this despoiled Eden. Dark Place in the Jungle is an absorbing rumination on the failure of a woman trying desperately to mother a species to survival, the dangers and temptations of ecotourism, and the arrogance of our inclination to alter the very things we set out to preserve. 30 blackandwhite photographs are featured in this revealing and fascinating journey.
