Requests:  0 Summary:  James L. Newman brings a lifetime of study to this powerful exploration of the rich and varied interaction between gorillas and humans since earliest contact. Tragically, most free-living gorillas-facing habitat loss, disease, and poaching-are now endangered. At the same time, those in zoos and sanctuaries now lead much more secure lives. Following this transition through time, Newman highlights the roles played by key individuals, both humans and gorillas. Among the former have been adventurers, opportunists, writers, and scientists. The latter include real gorillas, such as Gargantua and Koko, and fictional ones, notably King Kong and Mighty Joe Young.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 599.884 Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList
