 Goodall was a secretarial school graduate when Louis Leakey, unable to find someone with more fitting credentials, first sent her to Gombe to study chimpanzees. In this acclaimed work, Dale Peterson details how this young woman of uncommon resourcefulness and pluck would go on to set radically new standards in the study of animal behavior. He vividly captures the triumphs and setbacks of her dramatic life, including the private quest that led to her now-famous activism.
Peterson, a longtime Goodall collaborator, has a unique knowledge of his subject. Candid and illuminating, this work will be a revelation even to readers who are familiar with the public Goodall as presented in her own writing.

The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times by Jane Goodall & Douglas Abrams, 2021

In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope?

Looking at the headlines—the worsening climate crisis, a global pandemic, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval—it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.

Can anyone recommend any Black Death dramas? I'm kind of fascinated by the enormity of it.

I have seen and love The Decamaron. Would prefer less of a comedy, though. Book recs also good.

Specifically looking for fiction here. I have consumed a lot of up-to-the-minute research on this, I want to explore it imaginatively now.

Open Book Fountain

This sculpture was created by Kelecsenyi Gergely and engineer Jozsef Szita.
The fountain uses water to create the illusion of turning pages, and serves as a reminder of the importance of physical books.

You can find it at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. On Egyetem Square, in front of the university.
