As we watch the chimpanzees of Arnhem behave in ways we recognize from Machiavelli (and from the nightly news), de Waal reminds us again that the roots of politics are older than humanity.

Trade Review
An excellent book... Just as fresh and thought-provoking in 2008 as it was in 1983. Laelaps 2008
