""Visions of Caliban" is beautifully written, easily read, and
ethically challenging--it just might become primatology's "Silent
Spring"."--"Nature"
"["Visions of Caliban" is] compelling, important. . . . in this
book science and grace intersect."--"Washington Post"
"A powerful indictment of human cruelty; a convincing plea for
animal rights--and altogether superior to the run-of-the-mill
nature books crowding the market."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"A study of the relationship between humans and chimps [that] asks,
which is 'most brutish'?"--"New York Times Book Review"
"A well-argued case for greater care and conservation [of
chimpanzees]."--"New Yorker"
"After reading this book, even a person who laughs at chimpanzees
in costume, or believes that chimps should be used to test vaccines
for AIDS, must acknowledge that there is something very wrong
here."--"New York Newsday"
"Heartrending . . . a gripping account of an extremely important
subject."--"Library Journal"
"Riveting and illuminating, this is an important book."--"Booklist"
