Primates by Jim Ottaviani
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Jim Ottaviani returns with an action-packed account of the three greatest primatologists of the last century: Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas. These three ground-breaking researchers were all students of the great Louis Leakey, and each made profound contributions to primatology--and to our own understanding of ourselves.
Tackling Goodall, Fossey, and Galdikas in turn, and covering the highlights of their respective careers, Primates is an accessible, entertaining, and informative look at the field of primatology and at the lives of three of the most remarkable women scientists of the twentieth century. Thanks to the charming and inviting illustrations by Maris Wicks, this is a nonfiction graphic novel with broad appeal.
Jim Ottaviani has been nominated for Eisner and Ignatz Awards and has received a Xeric Foundation grant. His work has appeared on the lists of Booklist's Top 10 Graphic Novels for Kids, YALSA's Best Graphic Novels for Teenagers, and the New York Times Editors' Choice. He is a resident of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
