Items related to Face to Face With Gorillas (Face to Face with Animals)
Deep in the jungle you’re suddenly face to face with the great gorilla. It’s clear that even here, you are sharing a moment with one of man’s closest relatives. He’s staring at you with those eyes that look so...human. Experiences like this have made National Geographic photographer Nick Nichols a fierce advocate for conservation of shrinking wildlife habitats.

About the Author:
Michael Nichols is an award-winning photographer who became a staff photographer for the National Geographic Society in 1996. He has photographed more than 20 stories for National Geographic magazine. His work has appeared in several books, including Keepers of the Kingdom, a photographic essay about changes in US zoos; The Year of the Tiger, which focuses on the world's remaining tigers; and Brutal Kinship, a look at the timorous bond between man and chimpanzee with text by Jane Goodall. Nichols has been featured in Rolling Stone, American Photographer, and many other magazines.
From Booklist:
In this, the eleventh title in the National Geographic Face to Face with Animals series, readers will learn a few facts about gorillas, especially why they are threatened, and view close-up photographs that give a sense of what it would be like to be a few feet away from them. Award-winning photographer and author Nichols has spent much of his life raising awareness about the plight of gorillas, and through brief text and accompanying photographs he shares some of his experiences as well as information about their family structure, habits, habitats, and connections to humans. The back matter includes sections on how the reader can help, a challenge to develop an appropriate zoo habitat for gorillas, “facts-at-a-glance,” a brief glossary, and a list of resources. This is of limited value for research, but useful for inspiration. The attractive format will appeal to the intended audience. Gorilla Doctors: Saving Endangered Great Apes (2005) by Pamela S. Turner covers similar territory. Grades 3-5. --Randall Enos
