Leonardo DiCaprio - 'Beneath that fierce honesty was an unwavering faith that every voice matters' Prince William - 'Her boundless curiosity, compassion and pioneering spirit transformed our understanding of the natural world.' Chris Packham - 'We have lost one of the greatest and most necessary voices for life on Earth.' Barak Obama - 'Jane Goodall had a remarkable ability to inspire us to connect with the natural wonders of our world.' A fascinating and concise exploration in the life of Dame Jane Goodall that pays tribute to her incredible life. Jane Goodall is a national treasure, known as a pioneering English primatologist whose research transformed the understanding of chimpanzees and animal behaviour. She is one of the most influential scientists of the 20th and 21st centuries.This book draws on the key aspects of Jane Goodall's life - from her childhood memories during the war to her foundational days at Gombe - to show the wisdom of a life well lived. Filled with lesser known aspects of Jane's life to her tributes and anecdotes, her charming personality jumps off every page. This is the perfect gift for anyone interested in the life and legacy of one of the world's most influential scientists. Heralded as a national treasure, this short biography offers a deeper insight into the wit and wisdom of Jane Goodall.
