When Jane Goodall first released the results of her research into the lives and intelligence of chimpanzees, she captured the world's imagination, and now at the age of 60, she is as courageous an advocate of animal rights as ever before. Reason for Hope is her life story, and it is a fascinating spiritual autobiography, focusing on her ideas about moral evolution and the presence of the divine in all life. Above all though, the book is a reminder of the human ability to persevere through even the darkest adversity.
