3. Jane Goodall: The Woman Who Redefined Man by Dale Peterson
I know -- it's pretty sad for me that it's the last week of March and I've only completed three books.
I've been anxious to read this book for a while. I've admired Dr. Goodall for a long time and even had the pleasure of hearing her speak and getting her autograph several years ago. She has most certainly been the inspiration and model for me for putting a more "personal face" on science, making it more accessible to non-scientists. This biography was very informational for me to see how she became the woman, scientist, and activist she is today. I feel like if I read it again, I would learn even more. Definitely a must-read for any lover of animals and the natural world.
whatcha reading?,
