	GALDIKAS, BIRUTE M F Reflections of Eden Little, Brown & Co, Boston, MA, 1995, 1st Ed 1st Pr. Hardbound. My Years with the Orangutans of Borneo. From the first, it was an adventure. In 1971, at age twenty-five, the author left the placid world of American academia for the remote jungles of Indonesian Borneo. Living with her husband in a primitive camp, she became surrogate mother to a ''family'' of ex-captive orangutans - and gradually adjusted to the blood-sucking leeches, swarms of carnivorous insects, and constant humidity that rotted her belongings in the first year. Her first son spent the early years of his life at Camp Leakey with adopted orangutans as his only playmates. The wild orangutans the author studied and the ex-captives she rehabilitated became an extended family of characters no less vivid than her human companions. Throatpouch, a huge and irritable grouch, fought off rivals for the right to claim adolescent Priscilla as his mate. Handsome Cara at first tried to rid the forest of its human intruder by hurling dead branches at her from the canopy above. Little Sugito, rescued from a cramped cage and returned to the jungle claimed her as his mother and clung to her fiercely, night and day, for months. A groundbreaking chronicler of the orangutans' life cycle, the author also describes the threats that increasingly menace them: the battles with poachers and loggers, the illicit trade in infant orangutans, the frustrations of official bureaucracy. Her story is a rare combination of personal epiphany, crucial scientific discovery, and international impact - a life of human and environmental challenge. LCCN 93-22948. 408 Pgs.

	CAMPBELL, SHELDON Lifeboats to Ararat Times Books, New York, NY, Nov 1978, 1st Ed 2nd Pr. Hardbound. The author describes the modern zoo as no visitor can ever see it. He describes the work and world of the keeper, the vet, the researcher, the curator, and many more. His astonishing animal lore ranges from aardvark to zebra, as he tells how zoo vets operate on the broken leg of an eight-foot Komodo dragon and stitch the long tongue of Krinkles the aardvark. The author tracks the routes of animal dealers and their shipments; explains how animals adjust to captivity, and shows that in its crucial ecological role, the zoo has become a wildlife sanctuary where man is no longer predator, but partner in the race to survive.

	GALDIKAS, BIRUTE M F Reflections of Eden Little, Brown & Co, Boston, MA, 1995, 1st Ed 1st Pr. Hardbound. My Years with the Orangutans of Borneo. From the first, it was an adventure. In 1971, at age twenty-five, the author left the placid world of American academia for the remote jungles of Indonesian Borneo. Living with her husband in a primitive camp, she became surrogate mother to a ''family'' of ex-captive orangutans - and gradually adjusted to the blood-sucking leeches, swarms of carnivorous insects, and constant humidity that rotted her belongings in the first year. Her first son spent the early years of his life at Camp Leakey with adopted orangutans as his only playmates. The wild orangutans the author studied and the ex-captives she rehabilitated became an extended family of characters no less vivid than her human companions. Throatpouch, a huge and irritable grouch, fought off rivals for the right to claim adolescent Priscilla as his mate. Handsome Cara at first tried to rid the forest of its human intruder by hurling dead branches at her from the canopy above. Little Sugito, rescued from a cramped cage and returned to the jungle claimed her as his mother and clung to her fiercely, night and day, for months. A groundbreaking chronicler of the orangutans' life cycle, the author also describes the threats that increasingly menace them: the battles with poachers and loggers, the illicit trade in infant orangutans, the frustrations of official bureaucracy. Her story is a rare combination of personal epiphany, crucial scientific discovery, and international impact - a life of human and environmental challenge. LCCN 93-22948. 408 Pgs.
