Si con la publicación en 1971 de "A la sombra del hombre" Jane Goodall suscitó una oleada de asombro y conmoción, no menos resonancia alcanzó casi veinte años después la aparición de "A través de una ventana" (1989), obra en la que la primatóloga da cuenta de las observaciones, incidentes y pautas de comportamiento que tanto ella como su equipo pudieron recopilar a lo largo de casi treinta años de labor con la comunidad de chimpancés del Parque Nacional de Gombe Stream, en Tanzania. La obra, ya clásica, consolidó definitivamente el cambio en los métodos de estudio relativos a los grandes primates, así como la propia consideración de la comunidad científica hacia esta especie con la que el ser humano tiene en común el 99 por ciento de su ADN. La presente edición incorpora todas las adiciones que hizo la autora para la definitiva de la obra en 2009, en las que deja constancia no sólo de estos cambios, sino también del destino posterior de buena parte de los chimpancés con los que compartió aquellos años.

Publicada originalmente en 1971, A la sombra del hombre fue la obra pionera en documentar, de forma desconocida hasta entonces, la actividad de toda una comunidad de primates, concretamente la existente en la reserva de chimpancés de Gombe Stream (hoy Parque Nacional de Gombe), en la actual Tanzania. Se trata por ello de una de esas obras destinadas a conservar su vigencia como clásico de la ciencia y de la etología, pues en ella Jane Goodall dejó por primera vez testimonio fehaciente de la vida y conducta de la especie animal genéticamente más próxima a la humana, estela que en breve seguirían Dian Fossey con los gorilas y Biruté Galdikas con los orangutanes. Fue, en este sentido, una verdadera hazaña, equiparable a cualquiera de los grandes descubrimientos geográficos o científicos. La presente edición reproduce el texto revisado y definitivo de la obra que la autora publicó en 1988. Introducción de Stephen Jay Gould

Neste livro, Jane Goodall, a naturalista mais célebre do mundo, e o escritor Douglas Abrams tratam de uma característica humana fundamental para enfrentar as adversidades: a esperança. “O otimismo contagiante de Jane Goodall e seu chamado à ação tornam esta leitura necessária para todos aqueles que se preocupam com o futuro do planeta.” – Publishers Weekly “Uma mensagem poderosa sobre a importância de proteger a existência de todas as criaturas.” – Leonardo DiCaprio Com a sabedoria de quem dedicou a vida à natureza, Jane explica por que, apesar da crise climática, da perda de biodiversidade e das turbulências políticas, ainda acredita na humanidade e na construção de um mundo melhor. Ela nos apresenta quatro razões para mantermos essa chama viva dentro de nós: o maravilhoso intelecto humano, a resiliência da natureza, o poder dos jovens e o indômito espírito humano. Instigada por Abrams, Jane revisita suas memórias: os primeiros desafios como jovem pesquisadora na África, as descobertas sobre os chimpanzés, os pequenos e grandes dramas que testemunhou e viveu. De suas histórias, vitórias e derrotas emergem pistas valiosas para cultivarmos a esperança em nós mesmos e ensinarmos nossos filhos a tê-la. Só assim seremos capazes de superar novamente os momentos difíceis.

Kuinka voimme pitää kiinni toivosta maailmassa, joka näyttää olevan valtavissa vaikeuksissa? Ajankohtaisessa teoksessa kuuluisa luonnontutkija Jane Goodall ja kansainvälisesti menestynyt kirjailija Douglas Abrams pohdiskelevat ihmisluonnon kaivattua ja heikoimmin ymmärrettyä osaa – toivoa. Paheneva ilmastokriisi, maailmanlaajuinen pandemia, biodiversiteetin hupeneminen, poliittiset mullistukset – näiden musertavien uhkien edessä meidän voi olla vaikeaa asennoitua optimistisesti. Toivo on sitä, mitä nyt kipeimmin kaipaamme. Kirja toivosta on myös kuvaus erityislaatuisen naisen tunteista ja ajatuksista – naisen, joka on mullistanut tapamme tarkastella maailmaa, ja joka on omistanut elämänsä taistelulle tulevaisuutemme puolesta. ”Yksi koko maailman vaikuttavimmista ja tärkeimmistä suunnannäyttäjistä. Jane on lähes joka päivä levittämässä optimismia ja tietoisuutta eri puolilla maailmaa. Hänen viestinsä kuuluu: Meidän on suojeltava jokaisen elollisen olennon oikeuksia, tarjottava toivoa tuleville sukupolville ja vastustettava kaikkien aikojen suurinta uhkaa – ilmastonmuutosta.” – LEONARDO DICAPRIO

A NEW SCIENTIST BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A true hero' Greta Thunberg A legendary conservationist. A lifetime spent fighting for nature. An indispensable message of hope.

Es inútil negarlo: vivimos en una era realmente difícil. Una pandemia global, una crisis climática que no deja de empeorar, conflictos armados, desigualdad económica creciente... Ciertamente, sentir esperanza cuando el mundo tiene retos tan complejos puede parecer una proposición difícil, ingenua, incluso utópica. Pero sin duda es necesarísima para hallar nuevos caminos propicios para la humanidad y el resto de los habitantes del planeta. Mediante un animado diálogo, la célebre naturalista Jane Goodall y el escritor Douglas Abrams plantean en este oportuno volumen que tenemos aún varias razones para entrar en acción por nuestro futuro si confiamos en nuestra capacidad intelectual, la resiliencia del mundo natural, el poder de los jóvenes y el indomable espíritu humano. La esperanza, afirma Jane Goodall, es contagiosa y se sostiene en la convicción de que nuestras acciones tendrán resultados positivos. Sí: todavía hay esperanza, y este libro nos ayudará a encontrarla. «Un mensaje poderoso sobre proteger los derechos de todos los seres vivos, dar esperanza a las generaciones futuras y hacer un llamado urgente para combatir el cambio climático.» Leonardo DiCaprio

★ "Who can resist a book about an endangered animal by renowned conservationist Jane Goodall?”—Booklist, starred review ★"Thoughtfully taps our natural capacity for empathy and kindness in caring for all creatures and our planet."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review From legendary naturalist Jane Goodall, an absorbing fictional tale that will steal hearts and open minds about the plight of the pangolin, the only mammalian species with scales, and endangered by illegal trafficking. After a blissful babyhood being cared for by her loving mother, Pangolina ventures out alone into the forest to become an independent adult, helped along by wise, older animal companions, including a civet and a bat. But one day cruel hunters trap Pangolina, putting her into a cage along with her friends, and bring them to a market to be sold as wild game. Pangolina is especially vulnerable, since her scales are prized by humans who believe they have curative powers. To the rescue comes a small girl who knows that pangolins are friendly fellow creatures who have feelings too, and who convinces her mother to buy Pangolina and set her free. Jane Goodall's many followers and all animal-loving children and adult picture book fans will be riveted by this suspenseful and heartwarming fictional story set in China and including an authoritative informational page about pangolins and suggestions for how to help fight animal trafficking.

Immense scientifique à la renommée internationale, Jane Goodall est à jamais celle qui a démontré que l'outil n'était pas le propre de l'humain. L'histoire de cette jeune femme vivant avec les chimpanzés en Tanzanie dans les années 50 avait fasciné le monde entier, mais il lui aura fallu des décennies pour faire entendre l'essentiel de sa découverte : l'être humain n'est pas le centre du monde, mais un individu "sapiens" parmi toutes les espèces vivantes. Cette révolution des mentalités qu'elle a engagée avant tous est désormais réactualisée par les événements dramatiques qui frappent la planète : le réchauffement climatique, la disparition des espèces végétales et animales, mais aussi la pauvreté accrue de populations. Dans ce livre, la célèbre messagère de la paix des Nations Unies s'appuie sur son parcours de vie pour livrer à notre réflexion ses raisons d'espérer. Elle en appelle à un nouveau code moral universel pour relever les défis que font peser les menaces environnementales sur l'ensemble du monde vivant et redéfinir les liens entre l'humain et la nature.

Jane Goodall ha rivoluzionato le nostre conoscenze sul comportamento animale e sui rapporti con quello umano attraverso le sue ricerche sugli scimpanzé in Kenya e in Tanzania, che segnano uno dei punti più alti dell’evoluzionismo post-darwiniano e dell’etologia. In questo libro racconta la sua Africa tra ieri e oggi, tra emozionanti conquiste scientifiche e drammatici problemi ambientali, mutamenti epocali e conflitti. Un racconto in cui la scienza diventa anche poesia. Il volume è completato da un testo di Massimo Di Forti e da un intervento di Daniela De Donno, del Jane Goodall Institute Italia.

La grande primatologue Jane Goodall lance un vibrant appel afin que nous nous reconnections à la nature. Si l’on veut arrêter la destruction, il faut commencer par aimer profondément ce que l’on défend. Elle présente dans son nouvel ouvrage illustré une étude personnelle très complète des enjeux de la mondialisation qui menacent les graines, les sols, les plantes et les productions vivrières. Si elle pointe du doigt les dégâts, elle met aussi l’accent sur les avancées dans ce domaine, en particulier les multiples actions où la responsabilité sociale côtoie la protection du monde des plantes. Jane Goodall est l’une des invités officiels de la cop21, la Conférence des Nations unies sur les changements climatiques (Paris, 30 nov–11 déc. 2015). Elle fait déjà l’objet d’une attention particulière des médias.

An illustrated depiction of a real-life story that celebrates the eternal, life-affirming bond between animals and humans Everyone loves Dr. White, a furry practitioner with four paws, a wagging tail, and an unorthodox bedside manner who day by day works his magic on very ill children at the hospital. Although his treatment is unconventional, it has a great success rate. But one day the health inspector arrives and bans Dr. White from the hospital. Who could have predicted the terrible coincidence that ends up bringing Dr. White back to the patients who love him? Based on a true story from a London hospital, Jane Goodall’s enchanting book reminds readers of all ages of the healing power of love.

Nel 1960, a ventisei anni, Jane Goodall arriva sulle rive del lago Tanganica per studiare il comportamento degli scimpanzé. Ci vorrà più di un anno – vissuto lottando contro la malaria, i pericoli della foresta e la diffidenza dei primati – perché gli scimpanzé si abituino alla presenza dell’intrusa, fino ad accettarla come una di loro. La giovane etologa inizia così ad annotare le abitudini e gli umori del placido David Greybeard, dell’aggressivo McGregor, della matriarca Flo e di tanti altri sorprendenti personaggi del branco, con i quali instaura una vera e propria amicizia. Accolto come uno dei testi fondamentali sul comportamento degli animali, L’ombra dell’uomo è la cronaca di questa avventura senza precedenti, illuminante esempio di come la comprensione e il rispetto per gli animali siano l’unica strada per conoscerli davvero. Ma la ricerca di Jane Goodall ha anche un diverso e non meno importante risvolto: la vita familiare, le gerarchie sociali, il comportamento sessuale, la cura dei piccoli... ogni aspetto della vita quotidiana dei nostri «parenti prossimi» si offre come straordinario termine di confronto con la condizione umana.

"إن كنت ترغب في أن تعي مجدداً متعة الأكل، معجزة الطعام، والقوة التي يملكها كل واحد منا من خلال الطريقة التي نحيا بها حياتنا، قدم لنفسك خدمة. احصل على نسخة من كتاب (حصاد من أجل الأمل)؛ أنا أعدك بأن حياتك سوف تتغير بطرق لا تحصى، وجميعها للأفضل... إنه أحد تلك الكتب العظيمة النادرة بحق والتي بإمكانها تغيير العالم. - جون روبنز، مؤلف كتاب (ثورة الطعام) وكتاب (غذاء من أجل أميركا جديدة). تقوم جين غودول في كتاب (حصاد من أجل الأمل) بإقناعنا بأنه يتوجب علينا أن نقيم علاقة جديدة مع الطعام، علاقة تكون ملهمة ولذيذة، وتحافظ في الوقت ذاته على التقاليد وتشكل عملاً من أعمال الحماية. - أليس ووترز، مؤلفة كتاب (فاكهة شي بانيس) وكتاب (خضراوات شي بانيس). أُحب هذا الكتاب؛ إن روح جين غودول السخية والمرحة تطغى على كل صفحة آسرة منه. (حصاد من أجل الأمل) حافل بالملاحظات التي توسع آفاق العقل... إنه نداء شخصي لطيف لإيقاظنا وهو يقول لنا أن بإمكاننا استعادة حكمة أجسادنا. - فرانسيس مورلاپي، مؤلفة كتاب (حد الأمل) و(غذاء من أجل كوكب صغير). إن لم تكن قد فكرت في الطعام الذي تتناوله والخيارات التي تقوم بها - وحتى وإن كنت قد فعلت - فهذا كتاب مهم يجب أن تقرأه. - ديبورا ماديسون، مؤلفة كتاب (الطهي النباتي للجميع) و(نكهات محلية: الطهي والأكل من أسواق مزارعي أميركا). مدخل شفاف إلى عالم الطعام، حافل بالحكايا، يكشف كيف يؤثر إنتاج طعامنا علينا وكيف تؤثر خياراتنا على البيئة... اعتبر هذا الكتاب قائمة التسوق الخاصة بك. - بول هوكن، مؤلف كتاب (علم بيئة التجارة) أنت تسنح لك الفرصة لتغيير كوكب الأرض ثلاث مرات يومياً. أنت بوسعك أن تغيره باعتماد طرق مهمة، إذا ما اتبعت فقط بعض النصائح الحكيمة لهذا الكتاب. - بيل ماكبين، مؤلف كتاب (البيت المتجول: مسيرة طويلة عبر أكثر المشاهد الطبيعية مدعاة للتفاؤل) جين غودول: هي المرجع الأول في العالم لقردة الشمبانزي. وشخصية عالمية معروفة من دعاة المحافظة على الموارد الطبيعية. أنشأت مؤسسة جين غودول، وحازت على جوائز متميزة عدة في المجالات العلمية. والدكتورة غودول هي أيضاً مؤلفة كتب كثيرة لاقت استحساناً بما فيها الكتاب الأكثر رواجاً (داعٍ للأمل). المؤلفة الرئيسة لهذا الكتاب هي ( جين غودول) المعروفة دوليًّا بأم الشمبانزي؛ نظرًا لدراستها المتعمقة له ولاهتمامها الكبير بمصيره. وإذا كان الشمبانزي هو مدخل هذه الناشطة والعالمة الكبيرة للاهتمام بالبيئة والغذاء، إلا أنها في هذا الكتاب ـ ومعها مؤلفان مشاركان ـ تتقدم خطوات أبعد لتطرح السؤال البيئي الأشمل: (كيف يمكننا تغيير عالم تُتَّخَذ فيه القرارات التي تؤثر في صحتنا وصحة كوكبنا من أجل أن تقدم الشركات الجشعة بيان النمو الاقتصادي في الاجتماع القادم لحملة الأسهم؟). والكتاب بأسلوبه البسيط، المفعم بالمشاعر، وعبر 19 فصلاً، هو محاولة للإجابة عن هذا السؤال المهم وعن عشرات غيره، وهو نداء صارخ للملايين من اللامبالين. وبرنامج عمل عام، أو نافذة وعي لنا جميعًا؛ لعلنا نستطيع أن نعيد ارتباطنا بالطبيعة التي نحن جزء منها، وبالطعام الذي نأكله بوصفه نظامًا غذائيًا يعتمد بصورة أكبر على الطبيعة، ولاسيما في هذه المرحلة الحرجة من التاريخ البشري حيث نوشك على تبديد أو تسميم جميع الموارد الغذائية التي تمدنا بالحياة خلال نصف القرن المقبل. العبيكان للنشر

Les ressources naturelles à la base de l'alimentation de l'homme et des animaux sont gravement menacées : déforestation, surexploitation des sols, élevage intensif, pollution des océans. C'est en constatant que ces problèmes sont liés au mode de vie adopté par les grands pays industrialisés que la grande primatologue Jane Goodall a commencé à s'intéresser de près à la nourriture des hommes - une nourriture de plus en plus dénaturée. Face à de tels enjeux, le Dr Jane Goodall propose des réponses immédiates, accessibles à tous. La grande dame des chimpanzés fait ainsi bénéficier le lecteur de ses expériences de scientifique et de fondatrice de l'institut Jane Goodall, qui inscrit son action dans une démarche globale de protection de la biodiversité, d'aide à la gestion durable et équitable des ressources. Au-delà d'une synthèse des grandes questions alimentaires d'aujourd'hui, ce livre engagé propose des éléments concrets aux consommateurs qui veulent se réapproprier la liberté de bien se nourrir.
