![]() ![]() But no serious dry scholarly tome, nope, none of that. ![]() One of the things I like the most about the book, just like with Feynman, is how the life story of the women is so closely linked to the work they did. It is the story of how they stumbled into science, worked around the establishment, how they shaped and shifted their lives around their passion, about the incredible work they did in primatology with chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans respectively. ![]() But the focus is definitely on the three women rather than on Leakey. Primates is the story of the long term collaboration of three women scientists - Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas - with their scientific mentor, anthropologist Louis Leakey. And it is certainly up to the incredibly high standards set by Feynman, if not even a little bit better. The latest from the science graphic novel dynamic duo is Primates: The Fearless Science of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas, this time with the art by Maris Wicks. Perhaps not surprisingly, First Second published Feynman. Jim Ottaviani's book Feynman was one of my favourite graphic novels of the last few years. First Second Books is one of my favourite publishers of graphic novels, in particular because they seem to like to do a lot of science-themed books. ![]()
