Gorillas in the Mist by Dian Fossey

Fossey shares key memorable events experienced while studying four mountain gorilla groups for thirteen years up in the Virunga Mountains. Her infectious humour and determination drives the reader onward, deep into the forest where she makes wonderful discoveries and brutal truths which ultimately give great insight into the lives and stability of mountains gorillas. Gorillas in the Mist covers in detail much of Fossey's time spent at the Karisoke Research Centre through her own honourable words of experience and is a book not to be missed by the eager conservationist.
