This collaborative work on humans' attitudes toward chimps (generally demeaning) shows Peterson's and Goodall's writing in two different typefaces to distinguish them. The appendices present the conservation status of the chimpanzees of Africa in 1990, and reprint (from the Journal of Medical Primatology ) recommendations to the USDA on improving conditions of psychological well-being for captive chimpanzees. Inexplicably, the book lacks an index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
