Visions of Caliban

""Visions of Caliban" is beautifully written, easily read, and ethically challenging--it just might become primatology's "Silent Spring"."--"Nature" "["Visions of Caliban" is] compelling, important. . . . in this book science and grace intersect."--"Washington Post" "A powerful indictment of human cruelty; a convincing plea for animal rights--and altogether superior to the run-of-the-mill nature books crowding the market."--"Kirkus Reviews" "A study of the relationship between humans and chimps [that] asks, which is 'most brutish'?"--"New York Times Book Review" "A well-argued case for greater care and conservation [of chimpanzees]."--"New Yorker" "After reading this book, even a person who laughs at chimpanzees in costume, or believes that chimps should be used to test vaccines for AIDS, must acknowledge that there is something very wrong here."--"New York Newsday" "Heartrending . . . a gripping account of an extremely important subject."--"Library Journal" "Riveting and illuminating, this is an important book."--"Booklist"
