Reason for Hope

De: Jane Goodall, Phillip Berman

Narrado por: Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall's destiny has been blessed with faith, resolve, and purpose. From a little girl inspired by Tarzan, she became the woman who worked alongside famed paleontologist Dr. Louis Leakey, accomplished scientific breakthroughs in Gombe, and ultimately became a champion of the environment. The journey has not been without its crises; she endured the horrors of World War II, assaults on the integrity of her work, a hostage-taking at Gombe, and her husband's slow, agonizing death. But throughout, her religious convictions have helped her survive - and Jane Goodall's pursuit of science has enhanced, not eroded, her belief in God. In this biography, she candidly shares her life, as well as the Gombe chimpanzees she introduced to the world nearly forty years ago. And she gives us convincing reasons why we can and must open ourselves to the saints within each of us. At one with nature and challenged by the man-made dangers of environmental destruction, inequality, materialism, and genocide, Dr. Goodall offers insight into her perceptions of these threats and celebrates the people who are working for Earth's renewal. Here, indeed, is Reason for Hope.©2000 Jane Goodall (P)16 9; 1999 Time Warner AudioBooks (Packaging Elements Only), A Division of Time Warner Trade Publishing

"The Einstein of behavioral sciences." (The Los Angeles Times)
"The scarcity of Jane Goodalls...may be more ominous than the scarcity of chimpanzees." (Rocky Mountain News)

Incredible and educational. Must read!

I’m surprised and delighted by Jane Goodall’s story. This amazing woman has captured my heart with her experiences and viewpoints.

A must read for all

Dr. Goodall provides an amazing account of her travels, her life's journey and her insights as to where our world, and humanity, is headed.

Compelling Account

Jane Goodall seems to have a meditative lucidity in her descriptions and discussions. Her reflections on her apes and ensueing assessments of humanity are too much... I can't get enough. This is a super-compelling story.

Brilliant and sobering

I loved this book because jane’s thoughts line up with mine in so many ways and I was drawn into how nice/cheerful she is. This is one of my favor religious and science books. And she does such a good job of calling us all to do our best to save the planet. She lives what she preaches and is passionate about it. Any scientist or naturalist or environmentalist or open minded Christian/other religion would love this book

Jane is amazing

As is her book and I could listen to her read for hours (or did really….lol). Some real nuggets of gold here!

Beautiful and touching

Sloppy editing mistake ! Readers Beware, chapter 4 is erroneously placed before chapter 3 - which completely disrupts the flow of this beautiful life story, wonderfully narrated by the author who cannot help but touch the heart and soothe aching sadnesses. After recovering from the discombobulating error and almost giving up on the book, I was again moved - to the core.

Touching

Such a wonderful audiobook.
Jane uses her beautifully unique life to bring meaning and purpose to others in a way that can be universally understood and felt.

A luminous book

I rarely read nonfiction. I rarely read a book twice. This book has captured my heart so much....I plan to reread it on a regular basis. The only thing that I can think of which would be more enjoyable than listening to this book would be an opportunity to chat with Jane Goodall in person!

Loved it

It was really good, it's fascinating how she work her way around all these obstacles, it's an inspiration to everyone. I truly enjoyed listening to it, it was really interesting with the author narrating.

The best book in my life

Should be compulsory in school worldwide. Best book in my life. it has all science of animals, ethics, individual responsibility, environment, a true reason for hope. A motivation to find our calling.
