Riassunto

Offers a detailed account of the alliances, sexual rivalries, and power coalitions of chimpanzees in a large zoo colony in Arnhem, Netherlands. First published in 1982 by Harper & Row, and then by Johns Hopkins Paperbacks in 1989, the account drew the attention of Newt Gingrich, who included it on his reading list for members of Congress. This edition features new color photos and a new introduction and epilogue, updating the story of the colony's political upheavals. Includes many b&w photos. For general readers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Recensione:

"Fascinating to read." -- Amelie Koehler, Ethology

"When I first read this book, I was in Dar es Salaam with Jane Goodall. I had just returned from observing chimpanzees for two weeks at Gombe. After the real life experience, I expected a book about chimpanzee behavior -- and at a zoo, at that -- to make rather dull reading. But I was in for a surprise. De Waal's Chimpanzee Politics is as much fun as a tree full of wild chimps." -- Adrienne Zihlman, American Journal of Primatology
