 Good book April 5, 2008

Excellent book with a sociecological point of view. As the prologue remembers, no mention to culture.
 Gorilla Society is wonderful October 29, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I cannot say enough good about this book. The subject is fascinating - gorillas are amazing animals and they share an extraordinarily close genetic relationship to us. Their society helps us understand the roots of human society. It may not be an exaggeration to say that the authors know more about their subject than anyone else on earth. They both worked closely with Dian Fossey and logged more hours with the animals than the hero of Gorillas in the Mist. Their methods of study are cutting-edge science, but the text is so well written that complicated methods and concepts are easily understood. Besides learning about gorilla society, one is treated with finding out what is new in the science of socioecology.

Harcourt and Stewart have written the definitive book on gorilla societal behavior. The fruit of decades of field work and exhaustive research, this book presents a picture of a threatened primate society that must be better protected from its neo-capitalist, all consuming cousins.
