Goodall, who began her work in the summer of 1960, was originally sponsored by the great paleontologist Louis Leakey and funded by the National Geographic Society. Her early studies of chimpanzees soon made her world famous as one of the great pioneers in primatology, and she began working to transform her original tented camp into a major field station for animal studies. Then came a tragic event that marked the final summer of that promising first decade and is the focus of this book. At aroundnoon, on Saturday, July 12, 1969, Ruth Davis, a young American working at Gombe as a volunteer, walked out of camp to follow a chimpanzee into the forest and never returned. Her body was found six days later floating in a pool at the base of a high waterfall. The Ghosts of Gombe explores the social tensions that developed among the small community of researchers during 1968 and 1969; considers thoroughly how the death might have happened; and describes the painful personal consequences for some of the surviving researchers."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Davis, Ruth, $d -1969. 650 0 $a Primatologists $z Gombe National Park $z Gombe National Park $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Biological stations $x Accidents $z Gombe National Park. $z Gombe National Park. 650 0 $a Ghosts $z Gombe National Park $z Gombe National Park $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Accidents $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Primatology $z Gombe National Park $z Gombe National Park $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Chimpanzees $z Gombe National Park. $z Gombe National Park. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships $z Gombe National Park $z Gombe National Park $x History $y 20th century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Peterson, Dale. $t Ghosts of Gombe. $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2018] $z 9780520969964 $w (DLC) 2017043621 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180502012208.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E4771230370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
