The Book of Hope - A Survival Guide for Trying Times - Grand Format

Dr Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, was born in the UK. In July 1960, at the age of twenty-six, she travelled to what is now Tanzania, venturing into the forests of Gombe and the world of wild chimpanzees. Equipped with little more than a notebook, binoculars and her fascination with wildlife, Dr Goodall braved a realm of unknowns to give the world a remarkable window into the lives of humankind's closest living relatives.
From those early days in the remote forests of Gombe to the lecture halls of Cambridge (where she earned a PhD in ethology with no prior degree) and Stanford (as a visiting professor in human biology), through sixty years of groundbreaking research, Dr Goodall has become one of the most recognized living scientists in the world. Douglas Abrams is the co-author of the international bestseller The Book of Joy, with the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu.
He has had the privilege of working on behalf of Nelson Mandela, Jody Williams, Elizabeth Blackburn, Stephen Hawking, and many other luminaries and Nobel Laureates. Abrams is the founder of Idea Architects, a literary agency that works with visionaries to create a wiser, healthier and more just world. The Book of Hope is the second in the Global Icon series.
