Summary: An Excellent Resource
Review: This book is wonderful in that it is one of the few scholarly works entirely devoted to pygmy chimpanzees, except for Randy Susman's edited volume (1984) and Kano's (1992) book. Interesting to the layperson, graduate student, and published scientist, Bonobo: The Forgotten Ape is not only filled with good information and beautiful glossy photos, it suggests new and interesting ideas to developing academics. A book like this is well worth the 20 dollars and is a good addition to the library of anyone interested in great apes.

Summary: Bonobo, you are not forgotten
Review: This is a ground breaking book which forces humans to realize that not all of the great apes are violent as chimpanzees have been pigeonholed. It ultimately questions our humanness in relation to our 2 closest relatives: chimps & bonobos. Humans have characteristics of both, then why do many humans believe human nature is violent? This book gives us a mirror to see ourselves in.

Summary: Our neighbors the Bonobos
Review: This is a very beautiful book about the bonobo primates. I bought it for my 7 year-old grandson but his father thought we should wait two or three years before the boy saw the explicit photos of bonobo courtship and related practices. After looking more closely, I think he is right.

Summary: Wonderfully scandalous! Will change your worldview.
Review: This is the most scandalous book I've come accross in years. I am going to send it to all my favorite people. Who would have thought that any animal has a more highly developed sexuality than humans? This book breaks ground and opens up a whole world of animal sexuality that most people don't like to even think about. Animals having sex for fun. Animals having oral sex. Animals having homosexual sex. It's fascinating, and the pictures are fabulous. They look just like us.

Summary: Extraordinary book!
Review: This text was one which I had been seeking for a while. I am fascinated by the bonobo, and this book answered all of my quetions. The photography is unparalled and captures so much in tthe eyes of these animals. I recommend this book to anyone with a love or interestfor primates.
