Gorillas in the Mist

Dian Fossey's classic account of four gorilla families - one of the most important books ever written about our connection to the natural world For thirteen years Dian Fossey lived and worked with Uncle Bert, Flossie, Beethoven, Pantsy and Digit in the remote rain forests of the volcanic Virunga Mountains in Africa, establishing an unprecedented relationship with these shy and affectionate beasts. In her base camp, 10,000 feet above sea-level, she struggled daily with rain, loneliness and the ever-constant threat of poachers who slaughtered her beloved gorillas with horrifying ferocity. African adventure, personal quest and scientific study, GORILLAS IN THE MIST is a unique and intimate glimpse into a vanishing world and a vanishing species.Author: Fossey, Dian,author Contributors: Fossey, Dian,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 320 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: New Ed Published/Release Date: 3 May 2001 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Orion Publishing Co Author/Director/Artist: Dian Fossey Dimension (cm): 196x133x19 mm Package Dimension (cm): 22x196x130 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 220
