«A través de la ventana» is Jane Goodall's popular science essay, published by Salvat in hardcover (216 pages, in Spanish).
Jane Goodall summarizes thirty years of observing the chimpanzees of Gombe, by Lake Tanganyika, in a narrative as enjoyable as it is rigorous, showing their social structure, the rearing of young, hatreds and affections, violence and alliances among specific individuals.
Work originally published in English as «Through a Window» (1990); this Spanish edition was published in 1994 in the Ciencia collection.
Reference work for those interested in primatology, animal behavior and popular science, as well as for followers of Jane Goodall.
Dame Valerie Jane Morris Goodall was an English primatologist and anthropologist. Regarded as a pioneer in primate ethology, and described by many publications as "the world's preeminent chimpanzee expert", she was best known for more than six decades of field research on the social and family life of wild chimpanzees in the Kasakela chimpanzee community at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. Beginning in 1960, under the mentorship of the palaeontologist Louis Leakey, Goodall's research demonstrated that chimpanzees share many key traits with humans, such as using tools, having complex emotions, forming lasting social bonds, engaging in organised warfare, and passing on knowledge across generations, which redefined the traditional view that humans are uniquely different from other animals.
