Goodall's work has always been controversial, mostly because she broke the mold of research scientist by developing meaningful relationships with her "specimens" and honoring their lives as she would other humans.<p> Now at the age of 60, she continues to break the mold of scientist by revealing how her research and worldwide conservation institutes spring from her childhood callings and adult spiritual convictions. <I>Reason for Hope</I> is a smoothly written memoir that does not shy away from facing the realities of environmental destruction, animal abuse, and genocide. But Goodall shares her antidote to the poison of despair with specific examples of why she has not lost faith. For instance, she shares her spiritual epiphany during a visit to Auschwitz; her bravery in the face of chimpanzee imprisonment in medical laboratories; and devotes a whole chapter to individuals, corporations, and countries that are doing the right thing. But most of all Goodall provides a beautifully written plea for why everyone can and must find a reason for hope. <I>--Gail Hudson</I> 2343309 1999 Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey total:570|5:218|4:218|3:114|2:16|1:4| 570 2340 837 114 5 6 false false Thu Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 19:51:22 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 05:55:13 -0700 2009
