Trade Review"Stunning photos of Gombe chimpanzees...Anup Shah and Fiona Rogers provide an intimate insight into the world of chimpanzees." BBC Wildlife magazine; "An intimate and stunningly illustrated account...These animals have been the subject of intensive study ever since Jane Goodall first made their acquaintance in 1960, but surely no other cameras have lingered on them so lovingly...this is much more than another African coffee table book. The intensity of the images speaks volumes about the photographers' involvement with their subjects. The portraits, especially, have a Rembrandt-like depth, with every wrinkle and whisker steeped in meaning and emotion." Travel Africa magazine; "The social structure of these remarkable animals is documented in Tales from Gombe." New Scientist; "...a stunning new book documenting these extraordinary ape communities." Wild Planet magazine
