Our Great Cousins: The Great Apes
November 2007
The Great Apes by Cyril Ruoso & Emmanuelle Grundmann
Published by Evans Mitchell Books
Being our closest relatives it is not surprising that Great Apes hold an elevated place in our interest of wildlife. They have social cultures, can laugh or recognize themselves in a mirror as we do. Today, following decades of research in primatology, apes have finally joined our family album.
The Great Apes introduces the different species of apes and describes to us their evolution, social customs, complex lifestyles and natural habitats.
The authors also concern themselves with the illegal human activities and commercial assaults on their environment that are endangering the very survival of the species.
This 128 page case bound book is filled with highly informative text and superb photographs, which gives the reader a wonderful insight into these animals.
The Great Apes will be published in November 2007 and will be available from all good book retailers priced at £14.99
